Slow day. Got a few in the Main lake off marked reefs about 18-25 ft deep. Berkeley flatworms in green pumpkin on a drop shot worked slowly. Almost dead sticking slow. Caught a nice white bass coincidentally on a strike king 3xd in Tennessee shad in Castle Creek.

Ledges
Bass are deep. 15-28 ft off ledges and in the main lake channels. Drop shot working the best. Down size your hooks to a 1 or 2 and fish slow. Little movement to almost deadsticking will catch a few. Watch for extremely light bite.

Largemouth were hard to find with the cold water. Went into castle creek, main channel. Found school of white bass in 75 ft of water but suspended at 25 ft. Vertical jigging with kastmasters in chrome did the trick. Can’t wait for spring

Still cold and slow. Caught a few in 18-20 ft off points and reefs. Deep crankbaits like the Berkley dredger 20.5 in chartreuse worked. Drop shot roboworms in a green pumpkin color had a few bites in 15-20ft.
