Big spots have moved to run with the strippers in water between 40-50 feet deep, suspended at about 30 feet. Definitely a hard bite to find but where you can find a school of striped the spots are not far behind.

Alewife
We have had a good amount of rain so the water color is pretty muddy around mid lake. I have been focusing on longer creek arms. Fish seem to start biting around half way in. Focus on areas with good rocks around the bank as well as lay downs. Seem to have better luck on the sunny banks. I have been staying around the 8’ or less areas. Water temp - 50°-52° Water clarity - less than 10” Wind - 10mph

March/April early morning after water gets to 55 degrees. When shad spawn happens. Early mornings find rip rap, boulders etc and cast along the banks for the first 2 or 3 hours of morning. Fishing will be hot.

Bait balls, bass busting top water. Cast flukes over deep water humps and “jerk” back to boat. Ive sat over a 70’ deep main lake channel casting to 10’ hump jerking back to boat and smoked’em 8 casts, 8 keepers Good times. Watch for boat traffic mid day.
