Fish are stacking up farther back into pockets on points and nulls, focus in on areas with harder bottom consistency. Fish are hugging bottom due to weather but are not afraid to eat baits in the middle of the water column. Work the bait at a consistent medium pace with jerks and twitch’s mixed in.

Points
Fish are being caught all over the lake. Some fish are starting to stage and can be caught on secondary points back especially in the creeks. Key baits right now is a Zoom Trick worm in Green Pumpkin Green on a 3/16oz shakey head. The ball style head seems to be getting bit better. Still key in on rip rap as there are still fish there. The Duo Realis 120SP in Morning Dawn is getting bit pretty good. There are fish in Rocky River being caught cranking on a Berkley Fritsside 7 in numerous colors.
