It is early springtime. Water temps are in the 50’s. You are fishing some rip rap on a bright sunny day. Because of the strong sun the water along this northern rocky stretch has warmed considerably during the morning into mid afternoon. You have been catching some largemouth along this rip rap with a brown tube bait. You have a 1/4 oz sinker pegged and you are working it along the bottom. Bouncing it along the small rocks. As the day progresses the sun yields to clouds. Before long the bite stops. What happened? What do you do now? How do you get that line stretching again?
What I would do…

I would tie on a small mid running crank bait in a crawfish color. Fish it very tight to the bank and work it slowly over the rip rap. The key is getting the bait close to the shoreline and making sure it hits off of the bottom. I would also try this techniques parallel to the shore. This way I could keep the bait in the strike zone which I believe is tight to the shoreline
