Fished a club tournament on the lower Susquehanna River/Conowingo area and caught smallmouth and largemouth at the mouth of Broad Creek. My boater and I leveraged the drop shot and small jig head with Zoom Trick worms. The conditions were very windy, so we stayed inside the mouth of Broad Creek all day. Anglers who braved the white caps on the main river were able get nice fish throwing white and chartreuse spinner baits near the water's edge.

The water was rising and murky from recent rains. Lots of leaves and other debris coming down the river. The extremely slow retrieve of the hair jig at creek mouths was key to getting bites

I fished a known wintering hole. Water temp was 34.4 - 38.7. Air temp 29°- 59°. Water clarity stained. I was fishing the jerkbait in 6 - 10 foot of water. I fished the jerkbait similarly to a blade bait. I would cast the jerkbait down current, pull the rod up current causing the jerkbait to wobble like a blade bait. I would then allow the jerkbait to drift back on a semi slack line. Rip twice, on the third rip I would open the bail and and let out line allowing the jerkbait to free drift down current. Fish would usually inhale the bait at this time.
