Ended up with a big fat zero at this weekends BFL. However, if you are looking to catch numbers this bait got it done. Mixed with some shakey head, and spinner bait fishing you can have a great day. Find a creek and flip everything.

Post spawners were moving out to deeper main lake points where they could feed on pods of Shad. These fish were not roaming with the bait but were set up on hard bottoms to where they could easily feed when these pods of bait came across the point.

The cold front we have had seems to have knocked fish back a little. Only seen two fish up on the bed and very few cruising. Backed off and started fishing spawning flats and shallows points with a Swing Head to combat that. Reeling it just along the bottom bumping the pea gravel rocks.
