Water was up about 1-2ft high due to recent rains, which also made the water muddy and cooler. Typically, water visibility is 1-2 ft in some areas... this trip was only a couple of inches and had good bit of blown out vegetation. Fish were staying closer structure due to the recent stained water. Decided to move shallower as the sun came up to get into the warming water and found a few decent fish.

Morning Air Temp: 41 but high was 70 Water temps- 52-55 Winds: out of the South but whipping out of the East at times 10-15mph Fish are beginning to move up for Spawning. They are still in transition areas and most are pale from being deeper water for Winter. Water was stained from a few recent rains and the wind. Ripping the Chatterbait through the brush and as close to the brush worked best. Also caught a few on a Wacky Rigged Senko around the docks.
