The Detroit River water temps are remaining unseasonably cold as our weather here is a bit behind. To combat the occasional slow bite I’ve gone to a blade bait which is convincing lethargic pre spawn fish to bite when it gets tough. Alternating from lowering it down to dropping it to free fall has made the difference.
