With the water fluctuating so much and the cold blue bird days it has been tough. Best bite came on a texas rigged Senko with a light weight.

Ripping traps through the hydrilla got reaction bites. When it gets cold on Toledo if you are not throwing a trap you are fishing for second place. One key is using regular line to allow the stretch and also mustad triple grip hooks along with a limber Rod. These help you to not lose as many fish on the traps.

Very tough day of fishing. The bite was slow and that was not expected considering we had overcast and wind all day with some rain. The only thing that would draw significant bites were the white frogs, worked slowly.

Caught them good on a Storm chug bug in chrome/black. They choked it, but you had to work it super slow and let it sit. The water level is up and the fish are scattered. Also caught a few on the Keitech paddle-tail 3" swimbait. I fished it on an underspin.

Grass is thick along the banks. Water temp is reaching 68-69 degrees. Some bass spotted on beds, but most bites would come from outside the grass lines. A wacky rigged StrikeKing Ocho is green pumpkin would get us bites. A watermelon red Zoom baby brush hog caught some near bridges and docks.
