Cold and foggy with some rain most of the day. Once the weather broke and the sun came out the smallmouth really turned on . Any brush in 10-15’ of water should have catchable fish.

All the big balls of shad were in about 20’ of water per the side scan. Was able to scope a couple of small mouth with the Alabama rig. All others were on a single rage swimmer around rip rap and chunk rock. Nothing of any size though. Next cold snap should really change the game out here old son! #funkeeeeeefisherman

The water is still fairly cold but the Bass are biting. Target rock piles and points. The fish are also hanging around big balls of baitfish as well. They seem to be in the 10-15 foot range more consistently but there are definitely fish deeper in the 15-25 and possibly deeper.

The water is very cold which is probably making the bite incredibly tough. If you can find fish on ffs that helps and you will likely catch them, but finding them is the hard part. We caught some fish on the Jerkbait and we had some big fish follow back the Huddleston. Don’t be fooled, we did not catch many and had few followers, but if you want to catch a giant those two baits should definitely be in the water. Also, the A-rig is a must have. Hopefully the water warms up which will help the bite immensely. Also the closer to March we get the more fish will be moving up Good luck and hope that helps.

Post frontal conditions. Bass were not chasing much. Targeted creek channel swings with boulders and big chunk rock. Also caught some on top close to the dam once they started moving shad to the surface.

Caught a 4lb 5 oz largemouth throwing a whopper plopper which I had never caught a fish on before.
