Fishing was tough today. I found some fish around the cribs that someone dropped out there but colder water temps and lack of grass made it tough to locate fish. The fish I caught came out of 13 foot of water tight to the wood. Long pauses on the jerk bait was key today. Hopefully water pops over 50 soon!

Good numbers lake. Lots of small fish with the occasional 2.5lbs fish. Got most of my fish with a silver blade bait with just a slow steady retrieve with the occasional yo-yo. Got a few other fish on a black and blue senko and a few on a fire craw chatter bait.

This is a very shallow and weedy lake, especially around the edges. It is also a smaller lake but healthy. Earlier in the day, I had a good amount of action on topwater over shallow weeds. My grandpa fished the edge of the weeds with a soft swimbait and landed a huge 5 pounder. I also caught several on weed edges on a wacky-rigged senko.

Can find fish within the 4-10 foot range. Key things for this day is keeping the bait moving and just above the weeds. The biggest of the day was 4.71 pounds. Came out of 4 foot of water. The big ones seemed to be shallow but the numbers came out deeper.
