Water temps were 49 and the water clarity is around 1-2ft vis. I found this beauty in 30ft of water cruising on the bottom looking for a big meal. Lots of bass are moving up to their prespawn areas and looking for food. I put the a rig right in her face and she ate!

Water temp 50-53 Water clarity .5-1ft Wind 17-29mph It was a very windy day today to say the least. The wind had me taking cover by the bridge part of the day after it got super windy. I focused on the main creek channel through the day. I found many fish cruising around deep points and drop offs in around 15-25ft of water. I was livescoping these fish which were suspended around 7-15ft under the surface. The Yum Brella rig with Strike King swimbaits. Most of the fish were cruising around looking for the big gizzard shad balls.

During Early Spawn and Spawn, some of the best spots to fish are the bridge piling on the corner where the rock point meets the bridge. Throwing a sexy shad square bill and texas rig worms (view recommended products) through the bridge pilings early in the morning will always get you bit during this time of year.
