Found schools of crappie from the surface down to 15 feet of water. Pierson is a bowl, so they were either relating to the weedline or just outside of it. Used mega live to find them, and used a multitude of colors and plastics to catch them, but the mix and match of different pinks and whites seemed to work the best.

Tried this small trout lake and was surprised by the number of quality bass in it. fished a pleather of baits and caught fish on each one of them. The boat ramp was pretty sketch but not too bad. overall the lake was fun and perfect for a quick lap around it. Will be going back.

Got out after some bass and the pike were active as well. Really liking the Shimano Mastiff line. It gets the job done.

Fished backwater areas above emergent vegetation. Could see where bass were chasing minnows at the surface and fished the Horny Toad thoroughly in those areas.

I fished Stop 3 of the Tackle Warehouse Invitationals. Day 1 I had 14.2 and Day 2 I had 10. A Cold front had pushed through since practice and killed my big bite. I caught several fish both days or the tournament multiple different ways. Most bites were fish on beds around buck brush and lay downs. I caught some cranking shallow points and throwing a walking bait on flats. Spinnerbait was good in the stake beds. But flipping a tube or lizard seemed to be the way I caught most of my fish.

Was not targeting trout but they sure do love a jerkbait. Cloudy conditions with very little wind. I was working the jerkbait a little quicker with smaller less aggressive jerks.

Conditions were extremely windy making poor water clarity. Smallmouth bite is definitely picking up in the harbors after the last week of nice weather. Still had to work the jerkbait with slow 1 or 1-2 pops waiting about 6-10 seconds between 1 and 1-2 pops. The 110+1 JR in Northern Secret has consistently been my best performing lure when they are not bedding/spawning
