    Shad

Water temps were around 48-49F this past weekend. Smallies were found staging around hard bottom points. Lipless crankbaits and jerkbaits were the best producers, wind helped the bite. Shad pattern jerkbaits w/ Chart bellies worked well & Red Craw lipless baits caught better than avg quality fish. 2-8ft depth ranges
