I was fishing pre spawn fish around vegetation. I used a lipless crankbait with a yo-yo style retrieve to trigger bites. I had to switch to a faster action rod because the fish would eat the bait on the fall. I found both gold patterns in the Storm Arashi Vibe to be key in getting larger fish to bite.
