Caught spots on points with Shakey heads like previous report, but moved on to docks in protected areas due to wind issues. Caught a few quality largemouths on docks around 12 depth range near dropoffs and channel swing banks. Bluegill color used in clearer water, red in muddier water.

Cold front came through this week and made the water get cold again which made the fishing tough. Still managed to catch 7-8 on a jighead minnow and an a-rig.

Another good day out on lake Eufaula in Alabama! The fish are beginning to move shallow as well into staging areas in preparation for spawn. I was able to catch a ton off fish but most were caught on a drop shot rig using the sway minnow.

Wilson is fishing the toughest I’ve seen in a long time. Many of the local hammers are struggling to catch 15lbs. We caught 11.19 lbs and it came off of jigs, buzz baits, spinnerbaits, Texas rigs… I mean it has been tough. I was able to get my first jig bite of the year and it produced the two biggest bites of the day.
