We had a warm spell around New Years Day and the small mouth were very aggressive in the morning working a SPRO Rock Crawler over off shore humps that were 2-3' below the surface that transitioned into straight drop offs. Was a good morning. Once the sun got up, the bite turned off. I was fishing the main lake, over cast in the AM, and the water temp was 51F.

Water temp was hovering around 48F and gin clear clarity. Running the Spro RKCrawlers next to the ledges where rock piles were produced a pile of small mouths. Main lake points to the middle of the creeks is where I caught my quality fish at.

Started out slow this morning on Greers. Water temp was hovering around 49-51F partly clouded. Lake has came up roughly 4' in the last week. Throwing the Curve 55 against bluff walls produced bite after bite. Swapped out for a fire craw color jack hammer, and it was the same result. Biggest small mouth was 17", smallest was 15.50". Caught over 20 small mouth. No large mouth or spots.

Find the shad, find the fish! I ran my jack hammer parallel to ledges and bluff walls in 40' of water, every time I saw bait balls on the graph. Most of the time, the strikes came on bluff walls where the creek channel would swing in to it. I tried to keep my lure in the 10-15' range, reeling as slow as I could, yo-yoing the bait.

Post cold front fishing was on fire! Had a front move through the night before. Water temp was 52F, air temp was 36F. Wind was 10-15 mph out of the north. Fishing in 50-60' of water, running the minimax parallel to the bank as slow as you could make a 8.2 speed reel go produced bite after bite.
