Inside Turn: Specific holding spots

Verify three small targets separately

Check the left shoulder, right shoulder, then the back of the notch; if there’s current, also check the slack formed by flow separation. If fish are moving along the outside grass edge, you often need to run the bait along the shoulder; if they’re tucked in grass holes, make short pitches into the openings—don’t just sweep from the outside.

Example: Grass edge is typically at 9 ft, but in the notch it recedes to 12 ft. First keep the bait running at 9–10 ft across both shoulders, then slow-sink to the 12 ft bottom. Whichever phase gets bites, mark that line so you don’t lump multiple depths in one notch into a single “no bites” conclusion.
