Fished Bantam yesterday from 7:30 to 1:30. Took 4 LM, and 1 SM, including a 3+ LM and a 3 lb SM off shallow docks and lost one that was way bigger. Lost a 2nd SM about 1 1/2 lbs on a grub in 18 FOW; had it all the way to the boat before it broke water and spit the grub back at me. Caught two more off a rock pile on the way back to the launch.

Surprised me to catch that many from shallow water cover with the cloudy day. Thought there would be more fish roaming around, but all but the one I lost came from shallow cover. Tried crankbaits, spinnbaits, and topwater with no action.

Water temp was 66-67. Slight variable breeze from the SW.
