Didn't catch a ton, but it sounds like we did better than most. Low and slow is the key.

Water temps are in the low 50s and water level in lake is down. Fished PB&J Zman Hula Sticks on a 1/15 oz Nedlocks with very slow presentation. Water was slightly stained with about 10 feet of visibility. Fish were fairly deep, sitting in areas near ledges, that held some vegetation/grass. Fish presentation very slow, the bite is extremely subtle and mushy. You will need a very sensitive rod, such as the Dobyns Champion Extreme DX742SF, to feel those really subtle bites. I like to use a very long leader given the visibility, a good 12 to 15 feet of leader to my braid. Fish aren't as deep as the 40 ft depth mark, but look for them to continue to push out as temperatures drop. As we move into the winter bite, the bass will hover near ledges and south facing rocks that warm in the sun during the day.

Fish are moving into prespawn. Lots of bucks shallow. Saw a female cruising shallow. During the afternoon, fish are a bit more active. They were taking finesse ned baits and Megabass jerkbaits. Fish are a bit sluggish but can be found shallow if you cover a lot of water moving slow and methodically.

Bass are finally starting to transition from winter patterns. If we get a string of warm weather they will be hitting pte-spawn really solid. Jigs with craw trailers worked well. Gin clear water, natural looks worked best.

The bass are on the move! Look for shallow grass areas with deeper water near by. Try hopping or ripping a bladed jig through the grass. A few bass have even been caught flipping shallow cover. The water level is coming up and and the fish are getting aggressive. No topwater yet, but it's not too far away. Good luck.

Fishing early morning and late afternoon has produced better quality fish. Targeting deep structure and grass lines with a spinnerbait has been the ticket for larger fish. Drop shots and under spins also produce a lot of bites, just not the size. Fish can be caught at depths between 10 and 40 feet. Find the structure and grass edges for best success.

Bass are still in slow transition from winter to pre-spawn. Starting to see some bass move shallow at end of the day when water warms up. Many bass are still deeper between 20 and 30 feet, hugging humps and ledges. Success using jigs with craw trailers and finesse ned rig.
