Fish was in 2 ft of 46 degree water just goes to show how ready these big largies are to move up shallow after a long winter. Been a rough one for sure but with the sun out for the first time in a long time they were in 2-7 ft of water and ready to bite any spinnerbait or chatterbait that got in front of their faces

Fish were on points and flats in 2-10ft of water. Water was blown out and muddy so finding clean water for finesse fishing was key and using loud squarebills and lipless cranks got us a two day total of 28.8 for fifth place. Largemouth we’re few and far between this weekend but should be heating up here in the next couple weeks

Fish were in 3-10 ft of water of rip rap, wood, and pilings. Mainly smallmouth loving up with an occasional largemouth. Our one largemouth went 3.56 and 12.11 four fish total for day one. Sitting in 7th currently. Tried looking for a kicker largemouth but couldn’t put it together in 45 degree water.
