The hybrid and striped bass were active on the main lake ledges and points. Slow rolling an A-rig on anything wind blown produced well.

04-02-22 water temp mid 60’s. Docks in the first half of creek arms were good for numbers. Weightless wacky rigs skipped under the walk ways and around pilings produced well. A white spinner bait in the same areas also produced but the finesse bite out shined anything reaction.

3-26-22 water temp 62-65 and extremely windy. Main lake and secondary points leading into likely spawning areas were holding fish in the 10-15ft range. Mixed bag of largemouth and hybrids. Shallow docks in the backs of pockets held a few fish as well.

Fishing BLat’s Straight Up Fishing Championship - cold night on Saturday pushed many bedding females deeper until the middle of the day and a higher sun. Water clarity was approximately chocolate milk - dark bait water through and through. My best bait was the ZMan Gremlin (black and blue), pitched up to natural cover. Dock fish were all but non-existent in the wind, but wind protected forested shore lines with downed trees were the bite.

Spinnerbaits around shallow cover for a reaction bite. Drop shot in the same areas for a finesse approach.
