These fish are fat and full of shad and thump the jig hard. If it's a sunny bright day, they will suspend over top of the piles and don't like a boat sitting over them so when the bite slows, we back off and cast the same jig under a bobber and usually catch a few more keepers from the pile. If it's cloudy/overcast, they will be buried in the piles and we have to drop the jig down in the brush and actually bump the brush and they crack it. Fun time
