Hello all, Its the time of the year where you can make a few different choices and atill have a great outcome. I start by hitting some main lake points and making my way into the pockets making sure i pay attention to all the lay downs and small changes like large rocks(many you can see right below the surface) and secondary points no matter the size(sometimes the smaller ones get fished a lot less). For me I enjoy fishing a jerkbait and combining it with my Garmin livescope system. If you fish the bank make sure you've your garmin positioned to see the fish being pulled off the bank. Its important to watch how the fiah are reacting and if they're swinging in frint of the bait to get a better look. If you see the fish trailing or pushing in front of the bait you need to take it away while ensuring you keep the rythme in time. I like smaller quick twitches with this setup and just nake sure you keep that rod tip down after hook it and be patient if its a bigger fish. Keep a follow up bait of your choice to catch those followers.

Rock Pile
Forage
Shad
Find a big rock pile in about 16-25 feet of water and mark it anyway you can. Get about 50-60 ft from it and make long casts at different angles. If you have graphed it and know there is fish then go to a slower technique such as a shakey head or a hair jig.

Check rocks, points, and walls in the sun in the morning. Fish can be found on submerged structure, brush piles, and submerged trees after the sun is up and after dark.

Fishing Little River upstream. Dirty stained water from lots of rain. Ultra light tackle. Some current. Lots of fun. It’s their spawn run. Wait on the tree/dogwood bloom and it’s time. Plenty of walk in areas. If ya know you know. Good towards the rope mill area. Some nice crappie also. Only keep a few males this time of year.
