Laydowns
The fish are getting more active and the shallow fishing is getting better! Bladed jigs with craw trailers (Riot Baits little fuzzy) were working great with their ability to fish fast and slow. Laydowns in or near deeper water are good areas to target, don’t forget to slow down and cover them well.

Found a couple on wind blown bank eating the black and blue chatterbait. Water was still under 55 degrees and the wind was howling so it made the bite tough.

Fished today with a whopper plopper and a chatterbait. The bluegill colored chatterbait hooked a largemouth, but I didn't set the hook and it got away. Not too many other bites today, lots of other bank anglers out today too.

Stumps
Fish are biting walking baits and buzzbaits great right now. With the grass getting more dense a lot of shallow targets are out of play so look for stumps and other structure further out.

The tried and true Texas rig on a 5” yum dinger. The best fish magnet on the market. This catch was weightless but I usually use a 3/16 bullet weight.

Lily Pads
Always start the morning with a top water frog on the Lily pads or next to some brush. Works better early morning but there is always a fish willing to bite it.
