Early spring we fished black, 1/16 oz hair jigs very slow. The most effective retrieve was just above bottom with occasional lifts and drops. Frequently the smallmouth hit the lure on the fall. Biggest was 5 pounds. The bait I linked also worked in the early spring and caught my personal best largemouth!

Now that we are finally getting some ice, look for deep structure. Keep your presentation close to bottom. Limits of whities should come pretty quick!

Find breaks leading to deep water. Capitalize on the low light windows. Figure out the mood of the fish for how aggressive you want to work your baits. I start shallower and move deeper until I start seeing fish
