It's still cold, but an area of low pressure came through. Couple of warmer days and the fish have come in shallow to feed. Suspending over any grass that survived the winter, sticking to rocks, and under docks in the sunshine.

Spent time dragging a neg rig. The floating baits seemed to draw more bites than the baits that didn't float. Dragging past laydowns produced the most bites.

Spots were busting shad as the sun began to set. Used a Sexy Dawg Jr and Sammy to imitate the bait fish. Bass were eager to eat. Upgrade those hooks. Also dragged a Texas rigged senior around and got a last bite.
