Swim jig bite has been slow recently. The warm weather has helped it but it’s getting cold again for a few days. Looking forward to the next warm up.

Bite was really tough in the cold weather. Water temp was dropping. No luck on any moving baits to speak of. Did catch some on a ball head jig on some wood.

Finding fish from the mouth to midway back in the creeks, looking for brush piles with bait nearby. Throwing the jerk bait using a medium pace retrieve and 6lbs to 8lbs line. Fish are starting to feed up and getting size on them. Water temp 48° and stained.

Fishing pockets along the river channel targeting any lay downs or grass. Slow rolling the chatter bait with just enough speed to make the bait vibrate.

In the Winter the Spotted Bass on Lay Lake seemed to relate around any Channel Swing that had current and bait. The fish seemed pretty lethargic and didn't want to chase much. It was really important to get the bait down to the bottom of the channel, they didn't come up top very often unless it was a small feeding window. Best baits were a Dropshot, 3.3" Keitech, Swing-Head Jig with a Speed Craw, a Ned Rig, a few on a Jerkbait, and our biggest fish came off a chatterbait on the back of a sand drop in the main river channel.

Only had two bites but they were pretty good ones. Just cranking obvious points and transition areas. Most fish are still out deep chasing bait.

Matted Grass
Speed walking a frog over matted grass then pausing over any type of pockets in the grass gets you lots of good bites. Follow up missed blowups with some sort of stickbait
