Water temp was 65-67. Bass were pushing all the schooling fry into the shallows and feeding pretty aggressively but the bite was pretty slow. We eventually developed a pretty steady top water bit on plopper/prop bait's. Managed to catch a few with the new Hellraizer as well.

Early spring fishing is hit or miss on Sugarloaf. Jerkbaits and Spinnerbaits can produce decent numbers but quality doesn't really hit until Spawning season.

Water temp around 75, lots of fish busting on surface but couldn't get on a top water bite. Tried a ploppers, poppers, walking baits, and frogs, just didn't seem interested. Switched to some lipless cranks and started catching them right off the edges of the lily pads and drop offs. Pretty much cranking them in as fast as we could turn the handles. Did a bit of sight fishing in the shallows and caught them with a wacky worm, but the bait of the day was definitely the red eye.
