With the cold weather the fish have begun to suspend on points. You can fish an umbrella rig across them and catch fish all day long.

I found a ton of bait fish in the middle of creek pockets and I tried throwing a-rigs, swim baits, minnow style baits, but they liked the one knocker the best!

The shakey head I was using isn’t on the website, but it was a 1/2 oz Wrecker Baits Check Casher Shakey Head paired with the Zoom speed craw. Caught a couple in the small amount of time I was out there but this one below is a beaut!

Today we fished up shallow in the creeks because we had a warm from come through and gave us 75-80 degree weather. I caught one largemouth on a jerkbait but everything else came on a 3/8 oz Wrecker Baits shakey head and at 3/8 oz Titan tungsten Texas rig fishing lay downs.

I had a couple bites on a shakey head but the fish really wanted to chase something. I through a bladded jig and a spinnerbait and they were eating the spinnerbait.

I found a small school of smallmouth chasing and feeding on shad in the backs of pockets and I was able to catch 3 just trying to work on my Livescope skills. There were definitely some fish underneath docks and on the bottom I just didn’t have any success catching them with any bottom contact baits.
