Water levels are coming up and clarity is improving as long as you stay near the main lake. Northern coves are still murky. Sighted several fishing cruising in the shallows. Bite was slow most likely due to the cold fronts that pushed through. As the weather keeps warming up fish should start appearing on beds. Several followers with swim baits.

Only found a few in ~12’. The lake has come up 22’ in the last month and there is a lot of boat activity. It is hard to say where the bass are in the spawn but the ones I caught will still fat and did not have bloody tails so assuming still pre-spawn

Fish on points. Appear to be some post and current spammers. 5-12 ft. Zman chatterbait in firecraw worked. Dropshot with roboworms got bit as well. Loving this new Shimano mastiff flourocarbon line. Casts like a dream.

Went out early and it was calm with a lot of bait busting. Only caught 1 over a small channel in 25’ on a walking bait (thought it actually was a striper). There was a lot of white bass and carp activity but the bass seemed lethargic. I did not get any bites on swimbaits or drop shots.

Rain and cold. Temp fell to 57 degrees. Tried my new Krej in blue vapor in 15-10 ft at entrances to coves and main lake points. Nothing on beds. Worked it like a jerkbait mad let it fall for3-5 seconds. Caught several. I’m a fan of the Krej! Also caught a few on the roboworm 6” in morning dawn with a 1/4 oz tungsten weight and size 1 owner hook. 10-15 ft. Once it warms up they should move up on the beds.
