      Fish holding in 10-15’ mostly. Couple on the points with laydowns. This guy was in 3’ of water and smacked the chatterbait on initial retrieve. Water is still really dirty. Northern end had spots around 48 degrees, but the lake averaged closer to 44 as on 3/13. South end of the lake had a lot of chasers but no takers. No luck on the jerkbait, suggest downsizing presentations.

      • Water Temperature

        68°

      Water is muddy. Surface temp between 68-70 in most spots. Bait fish schools are easy to find on sonar near the main points (15 FOW). Fish are stacked up around them but bite is tough. Some bites shallow near remaining vegetation but nothing sizeable. Drop shot attracted more rock bass than smallies.
