Jon, best place to start is on the water. Can’t catch em from the keyboard. Just kiddin….Where was the last wind from ??? Might be a good place to start and maybe a little deeper because of the light Good Luck.
A “little birdy” told me yesterday afternoon in the calm water trolling lead core and 5’s in 12-14ft. of water on the “flats” produced some good fish/action…not surprising.

You can’t have the bait within 10 yards of the boat in shallow CALM water and expect the fish to stay there. Keep the jigs a LONG cast from the boat…??? ( or bobbers or crank baits or??)
“Envision”/anticipate what is happening and it get’s easier.
Thanks for the help guys. Was able to find some but never got on a good bite. Will post a review of my long weekend in a separate post
