Females where starting to crash the shallows starting to spawn in small waves. The bite was slow but if you could get a female to bite she was solid. You had to fish through lots of buck males to get to a good female though. There was 8+ feet of visibility so you would have to make long casts but it was worth it.

Cranking along lay downs. Wind blown banks seemed to be key.

Tough day, 10+ft of visibility which I’m not used to fishing. Caught a few small bass on a ned rig and one on a jack hammer. Could see some nice ones cruising the shallows but didn’t want anything to do with what I was throwing.

Had good luck fishing the grass edge with a drop shot. If you found standing timber on the grass edge it seemed to be holding better fish. The Mustad Alpha-Grip does a great job of keeping them pinned!

It was an extremely tough day but I caught a tiny fish on jerk bait in the morning and then nothing for 7 hours and started throwing a 3.8 green pumpkin swim bait because the water was so clear and started casting next to some standing timber and caught a three and a half!

Key to todays bite was finding the right mix of standing timber and the proper depth of the grass line. When those two thing met it was lights out. The grass line was growing out to about 7-9 feet right now and if you were able to find standing timber right along the grass line and flip a jig with a Venom Lures better beaver trailer on the back of it you where in for a great time.

Caught this 6+ on a watermelon candy slack line jig. You can check them out on Instagram or Facebook. Taking 15 or more casts to each brushpile was crucial as they fish were very lethargic from the cold front. Make sure you don't run over the pile too quick.

Caught a trophy Muskie fishing a jig off a wind blown ledge. Lost a second one on same set up. They both hit my jig when I popped it off the bottom.
