Hard fishing with the pre-Spring cold front that moved through. The hot fishing just one week before turned off like a switch and the bass moved to deeper water in the river channel and dredged boat slips. Windy conditions made it almost unbearable on the water, but persistence paid off with a few bass in the boat. The bites didn't come often, but when they did, we caught suspended bass at around 11 feet on deep-dive crankbaits. Long casts past fish we found on the display, then stop-n-go once we were over suspended fish. Tough fishing, but patience got us a few in the boat.
