Points
As the water begins to warm, its time to start throwing the Umbrella Rig. No better tool than the Strike King Titanium Umbrella Rig, no arm breaking, and no wasted time putting everything back into place. Finding flats and submerged points close to these flats have been key in recent years. Try and keep it simple with head selection and bait selection.
