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!

Points
Water temp was between 50 to 56 way in the back of owl creek. water clarity could see down about a foot. started off throwing a kvd 2.5 fire red color caught 2 or 3 on that. then I moved out and started fishing points with a kvd 6 XD and only caught 1. This time off year with the winter we have had what ever a person decides to throw needs to be fished slow.
