Look for big laydowns around steep drops near mouths of bays that lead to spawning areas. Let it sink and do t touch it for 4-8 seconds, then a painfully slow drag. If they are there, they are eating it!

Found fish where the water clarity was good. Fish were patrolling Submerged vegetation edges. Caught 3 total. The 3.5 version of the powers stinger makes a great chatterbait trailer that’s not too big.

Fishing Lick Fork part of Patoka and only caught 2 small bass with the baby jackhammer both were 5-10ft. I did also catch a 6lb striper. Had a kayak tournament and a lot of the anglers caught a bunch of fish and good size ones. Not sure where they fished it.

Target points for Prespawn fish preparing to move up. Look for baitfish activity and your percentages go way up. Found this Gus behind a stump. Love the blade combination for cooler water. I feel like they don’t feel tor see the Indiana blade much.
