We had a club tournament on North/South Center and the weather and patterns were all over the place. Early in the week the water temperature was 70+ degrees and we thought some fish were already off beds. Then the air temperature dropped to the low 40s on Fridayand cooled the water to 60 degrees. By Sunday, the water temperature had climbed back to 65 degrees and we found that fish were sliding back up to shallow cover in tight to sand, docks, cattails, etc. All of my fish were caught on a 3/8oz steath feider with a zoom ultra speed vibe craw and most were caught skipping docks.

Fish are setting up on points to big bays in south center. I have located them using a small crank (Wart) air that runs 5-8 on the points leading into the shallow spawning bays. I have had some luck with larger sunfish style swim baits as well.

Slow trolling / long lining at 1.2 mph on top and on the sides of the new weed growth was the ticket to catch a good amount of these pre spawn and spawning chappies in 8-12 feet of water.

Cranking weeklies with a 6xd, fish were aggressive so a constant retrieve sufficed. Caught one about every other cast for a good 30 mins then bite window went away.
