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.

Pueblo Co Resv, the lake is at 70 % full and water still cold . Main lake is 39 degrees, back pockets are in the high 48 . The bite is slow , had to side scan to find them on big bolders then run over them with 2d to pin point over the bolder. I slow drag the 3/8 moon eye jig with the jerk shad z sented perch color over the bolders. Middle island is 7ft under water fish are still hanging 50 -60 ft deep off shape drops . Have fun and be safe on the water.

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 .

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.
