It's been a long winter, but it's finally spring and these fish are moving. Covering water is key, and I had a lot of success with the jerkbait. They seemed to be pretty aggressive and feeding in the early morning and I could get away with fishing it faster.

Spots were moving along the bottom of creeks between brush piles. Using FFS to target fish once they had left the brush pile to move to another. Had to basically hit em on the head with it to get em to bite.

We fished wind blown pockets and found that the fish were relating to the stumps in the very back of them. They needed to be shallow pockets off of the main river channel. We found that moving baits like the jackhammer and crankbaits were able to entice a reaction. We also caught fish on a magdraft around boat slips.

Bite is picking up, starting to find more big fish up shallow. Cold front will definitely shake things up, big tournament coming up, gotta keep ‘em honest.
