The cold front has the fish pushed back out to deep water. But a few still come in to feed in the mornings mid afternoon and right before sunset. I’m looking for parks and street ends that have little sandy beaches, especially with boulders, near a deep drop off. Didn’t get one fish on any hard baits today. Most came on a Spark Shad. Weightless with and EWG hook. Fan cast the area, let it sink and slow roll it back. Just enough to get the tail to flicker. 15 mins at a spot, no bites move to the next area. This is also gonna work in any of the local small pond/lakes. Phantom, Boren, Greenlake.. etc.

It was cold, windy and partly cloudy. I was covering water from parks and piers with a Chrome Rattle trap, chrome blue fox, and various Senkos. I work and area for about 30 mins and move on. All three fish today came on the Lipless, straight slow crank, no jig/lift and drop. Fish are in about 15-20 feet of water. Mostly males. You’ll see the fish chasing schools of what I believe are trout fry. First smallie of the season. 1 of four for the morning. Looks to have been making a bed. It’s about that time y’all ! Tight lines!

Was out searching for early season bass, and keep running into schools of cookie cutter trout. So I’m bringing along my finesse tackle and UL spin rod.. I’m getting 6-10 inch trout all morning. On Strike King bitsey baits, and Matzuo minnows. I’ve also started bringing along my S waver in Trout. Any time I start seeing bass pushing the Trout, I pull the S waver through them. Can’t be long till I get a fat slab.
