April 16, 2023 - Sunny with a high of 80 and winds about 5-8mph out of the ESE. Some of the bays had water temps at 60 or so but main lake is mid 50s. A great day in which the smallies had the feedbags on. We found a couple wolf packs in 4-8ft of water in prespawn mode moving along rock. They really jumped on small swimbaits. We also found a limit of largemouth but they seemed to be much closer to spawn as they were not really aggressive. Caught them on the jig and champ craw on a little slack line shake in place. They were also shallower in about 2ft of water and usually near wood or some identifiable unique structure, seemingly setting up their bedding areas.

Flipping lay downs, reeds, under cut banks out closer to the middle of a creek channel has produced great numbers and size.
