The ice just came off the lake and we had a good shad kill. Fishing will be tough for a week or so then it will be game on. I would be concentrating on a jerkbait or a rig bite. Make sure your jerkbait sinks slowly for more bites. Try to target secondary points just off the main lake for your best bite. Arig fished over brush and main lake points will also produce fish.

Fish have been easier to catch fishing right above the brush. Tried a lot of baits only consistent bite was on a swimbait. Not a lot of big ones but more bites. Long casts and slow roll the swimmer just touching the tops of the brush.
