Crank the main lake points. I found several large bass on each point. Some of them were on the very tip and others slightly farther back. With the spring waters being slightly stained, make sure you use the red or orange/red crankbaits. I found them from 3' to 9' depending on the point

I caught a total of 10 largemouth and hooked up on 2 Muskie casting that OG Tiny made by Rapala. All fish were caught in 4’-6’ of water. The water was muddy, but not chocolate milk.
