Strong numbers and incredibly large sizes this year on both males and females. Despite the thickness of the fish, their bellies are empty. So the aggressive strikes are more to kill the 'bait' rather than to eat it. This means you will lose some because of the light hook-set; which is the typical spring pattern. Bonehead 3" Bluegrass with Bonehead Black 1/8 ounce heads are the ticket right now. However, other colors are working to a lesser degree.

Multiple strong cold fronts have caused a dramatic drop in the surface water temp by 10 degrees. After 2" rain, strong northwesterly winds have prevailed for 3 days straight with overcast skies. The fish have hunkered down a bit in 8-10' of water, with the occasional one in the shallows. They are not nearly as aggressive on the bite either. Holding the jig as steady as possible with the 25-30 mph gusts brings the most bites. Bluegrass on black 1/8 oz heads still bringing strikes, but other fisherman are getting some on other color combos as well, which is typical in the spring.
