We had a cold snap a couple days before which dropped the water temp back down a few degrees. Fish were still moving around some but not as active as earlier in the week. Different sized a rigs slow reeling in creek channels/points, and around structure snagged most of the fish. The biggest fish of the day came on the Aruku shad, steady reeling on the bottom between a dock and some brush. It’s steadily ramping up for spawn, just taking a bit longer because of the extended winter weather.
