John started Saturday morning throwing Spro popin frogs and Fish Belly Ninjas to the edges of grass on the main river, changing over to Conquistador spring craw, targeting holes in the grass as the sun came up. Moving around was the key factor to his success. On Sunday John moved to hard cover on the main river with slow deliberate presentation, allowing the tide to move his bait naturally. Both days were very hot with Saturday reaching 100 degrees and Sunday around 98 degrees.
