This was one of the last days of true winter fishing that I had done from the boat and it was extremely tough. The water temps were in the low 40’s. The only thing that there is a lot of(that I could pattern) was brush piles and lay downs. The water was pretty clear too so that was a little more challenging( 6-10 ft visibility). The only thing that I could get bit on was a little 3/16 oz tungsten ball jig head and a 3.25 inch Strike King Rage Swimmer. The first bite I got on this was when I brought it over a lay down transitioning from shallow to deeper water. That was what my pattern had turned into. I was using 10lb suffix 832 brad to a 8lb suffix advanced fluorocarbon leader. I was using this on a M/L fast action 7ft spinning rod on a 3000 size spinning reel. I’m sure you could have gotten on an offshore bite too but we had more confidence beating the banks.

The fish are still lethargic considering it's still February but they are still actively chasing shallow diving cranks around brush piles.

Offshore brush in 6-12' seemed to be holding most of the active fish. It was all covered in algae so most moving baits were out, even a jig was tough to get through clean. Some fish on beds, but nothing sizable.

Just cranking some rock on the point of a channel swing. They were stacked on the point of it and it was producing a little better than average fish! Also cleaned up by fishing a Neko rig behind it and also a finesse jig as well! Caught a lot of nice fish!

Found a pretty decent school in like two brush piles. Caught most of them on a dt 14 but they kinda got scattered out so I went to a Jig Worm with a black Trick Worm and they were choking that. Caught 15 bass out of the same cast each time! Re-tieing was key because I was using 10 lb Suffix Advanced Fluorocarbon for my leader on the Jig Worm and main line for my dt 14!
