Come to the gathering at San Miguel this weekend, all kinds of experts there! As for me, the bend has always been tough for me to fish so can't really help you there but come meet some of the great members at SM this weekend and get some expert advice.

Right now you need to find some grass flats with less than 10ft of water. That's not easy to find these days. But I found um stacked up in bull creek south of Indian mounds a few weeks back. But that is soon coming to an end. Now.... brush pile time isn't far off. If you have some decent electronics, finding the piles isn't very difficult. Ride slow in 25-30 fow. Get you a couple throw bouys. Once you start to see the piles show up on your graph. Throw a bouy out behind your boat. Put a shiner on a # 4 Aberdeen hook with a 1/2 oz weight 8" on top of said hook and drop it strait down 15-20 ft. Find the brush with your hook and wear there buts out. Lanan and union bay are full of piles in that water depth. Good luck.
