With 39 degree water temps and high winds. Target Main lake points. Fish have began moving slightly shallower (previously in the 25-35ft range) into 15-25 range. They have not made their way into secondary points just yet though. Use shad imitations and downsize your Roboworm to about 3.5 inches. Let it sink to the bottom and shake with an occasional hop to get them to react.

Water temperature is at 60° and the largemouth bass are in the shallow water looking to make beds. Smallmouth are suspended near rock outcroppings and getting very aggressive. The wind has been intense so be careful on the water.

target bass while they are spawning in the back of creeks and coves. areas that arent too steep and also are made up of good bottom compounds for spawning fish. With the sleeper craw, pitch slight past the bed then drag it onto the bed.

Locate ROCKY points, key thing is there MUST BE ROCK. With the jig, cast off the point into the deeper portion of the point. target anywhere from 5-35ft of the points. allow it to sink all the way down and slowly drag mixed with some SMALL and light hops about 6 inches off the bottom. you should be able to feel the rocks you are crawling over. You will feel mush or the fish running with it when they have in their mouths. 95% off my fish from this tourney came off this pattern and we had a 30-40+ fish day doing this. hope this helps!

Lots of these Crappie were in the spawn and many moving into the spawn. target lead in banks and the back of pockets. Within those areas gravel and baseball sized rocks were the best but I found them in everything including weedy areas. with the curly tail, cast cost to the short and work your way to the boat or throw parallel (0-5ft) from bank and swim it SLOWLY back. Colors that worked the best were Black+chartreuse, and White.

With the Bass in all stages of the spawn, located the back of coves, pockets and creek. Always be on the lookout for Bass Busting on bait at the surface. switch up your cadence as well as the aggressiveness of your pops. cover as much area as you can.
