Got out at 7am and fished till 12:30pm. Had good amount of north wind. With a water temp of 69 degrees. I used a Irod IRG703c paired with a revo STX. I used 12# Berkley big game and medium diving cranks. I fished steep bluffs and as many rock piles I could bounce my crank off of. Chartreuse and black worked the best. I didn’t slow down the whole time just covered water. Nothing big but a lot of smallies. Great day on the water!

Bass were hitting top water baits just before sun up. After sun was up for a short while and the top water bite slowed down we switched to Texas rigged worms. I was using a Bass Pro Shops Black Fire tail 6 inch worm. We caught around a dozen bass before 9:30 am. By 10 am it was hot outside with very little wind.

water temp between 48 and 50 degrees. Right now the bite is really tough. You really have to slow down and fish it slow. You can see down about 2ft.

water temp has come up 1 or2 degrees pending what area of the lake you are at. if go up by 36 bridge the water temp is much warmer. I fished the main lake today throwing the drop shot in 25 to 35 foot. water clarity is about 2ft out in the main lake. I rigged my drop shot up wacky style using chartreuse stick worm. Caught 4 lost one.
