The fish were up shallow on either end of the lake near reads and in heavy under water weeds. Hit on paddle tail swim baits and top water frogs

Okay guys a little crash course for big swimbaits. Water temps are 55 and climbing through the day with slightly stained water. About 4” of visibility. I stuck with the magdraft for most of the day and focused on the main lake areas what has little contour. Most of the lake is pretty barren with minimal amounts of channels or ditches. The bass were pushing bait up to the surface and I used my forward facing sonar to pin point them and make the cast on their heads. You don’t have to absolutely rip their heads off with the magdraft so a steady sweep of the rod will do the trick! Good luck!
