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.

The bite is on fire right now on CDA! Caught over 30 fish and some really nice fish around the 4 pound range! I was throwing a small swimbait on the back of a Great Lakes finesse ball head or sneaky underspin. both those jig heads come with a razor sharp and strong Gamakatsu 604 jig hook. I have also been testing out the New Shimano Mastiff FC and the 6lb test was perfect for this application. Insanely smooth, strong, and great knot strength. My new go to finesse flouro.

fishing the chain lakes with a swim jig is always a good place to start and find fish. you can switch around with trailers but a craw is usually best for me. water in the mid to upper 60's .
