we used a 2 prong plan of attack and both patterns were successful catching nice fish and quantity. our main objective was too drag jigs through brushpiles which was highly effective and between piles we worked the bank with flatsided crank baits picking up a few more bites along the way. the warm nights have the bass biting good

I fished Cedar on 1-14-2021. Partly cloudy skies. Air temps were high 30's to mid 40's. Wind S/SW 10-15 mph. Water temps were 39-41 with 4 feet of visibility. The jerkbait was key. I focused on secondary points, outside grass lines and laydowns. The fish were high in the water column so a jerkbait that suspended in the 5-7 foot zone was key.
