Fish were holding on beds between 3-12'. Beds were butted up against large rocks, and brush. I found slowly dragging a weedless ned head paired with a Roboworm Ned Worm in Aarons Magic through the bed to work best. In fact I had one break me off, after tangling me in the branch its bed was against, and then take it about 15 minutes later, and I was able to recover the first Ned from it.

41 degree water temps Target main lake points between 25-40ft of water. - Umbrella Rig, slow roll around 5-10 from the bottom and the rig above the fish. - Tailspin, small hops off the bottom triggered the bite - Berkley flat worm + Matt Stefan jig head. choose light enough of a head to get a natural spiral on the fall. this is KEY!

This is a great time to get on the water and spend the day fishing. Water temp starts out in the 37 degrees but goes up to 47 degrees water 🌡 on the main lake. I look for current brakes by bluff walls that had lots of sun . I side scan the wall for fish,using my Lowrance unit, saw fish hugging to the walls or hidden pockets. I use the 3/16 outkasttackle perfect Ned head with the Xzonelures Ned Zone, in big limit color. When I got a bite, it just got heavy and set the hook. 10lb suffix brand line with a 6lb suxfix floro leader line to get more bites . I used the Omnia Fishing premium app to find warm water Temps on the lake ,and told me the main lake had warmer water. Give it a try, have fun, and be safe on the water .

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.
