With the cold front just moving through targeting structures that receive sun is key. Early morning bite has been sluggish, but afternoons when the water temperatures have increased have been solid. Cast the bait past the dock post and roll it through almost hitting the structure. It’s where my most aggressive bites have come from.

Great bait for banging off the rocks to trigger reaction bites!

Caught several 12 to 15 inch bass this last weekend on a shakey head which goes against the expected moving bait patter. Found fish against structure and on ledges.

Slow slow & if you think you're going slow, then you need to SLOW DOWN MORE. Sometimes my jackhammer would hit bottom h paused there for a 5 seconds prior to bite! Slow down!

low 40s water temps and a cold front makes for a tough bite. Mid diving small cranking up in the river produced the most consistent bite. When the current slowed, the TRD filled limits.

Pictures not much, just proof I did catch a few. Only place I could generate a bite was on bluff walls. Some at channel swings other times just in at transition’s in rock. It’s super muddy from all the recent rain. Tried some shallow rock throwing red craw colored Frittside5 with no luck.
