I fished Cedar on 1-14-2021. Partly cloudy skies. Air temps were high 30's to mid 40's. Wind S/SW 10-15 mph. Water temps were 39-41 with 4 feet of visibility. The jerkbait was key. I focused on secondary points, outside grass lines and laydowns. The fish were high in the water column so a jerkbait that suspended in the 5-7 foot zone was key.
