   Did a little bank hopping for an hour at Lake Osbourne and the peacock bite was ON! Caught 7 and missed 2 (no clue what they actually were but pulled like hades for about 2 minutes before letting go. Started out with the Casting Combo & Jackhammer with a steady cast and retrieve method. That landed one then got two more good bites (thrown hooks) within 10min after. Saw fish shortly after busting the shallows and edge of the beds, so switched up to the  Spinning Combo and Whipper Snapper. Boom!, about one good bite about every 5-7min. Simple cast, twitch, pause, twitch, pause retrieve.  Nothing huge landed, but still a fun afternoon, especially on that Med Action, mono spooled spinner.
