Fish holding in 10-15’ mostly. Couple on the points with laydowns. This guy was in 3’ of water and smacked the chatterbait on initial retrieve. Water is still really dirty. Northern end had spots around 48 degrees, but the lake averaged closer to 44 as on 3/13. South end of the lake had a lot of chasers but no takers. No luck on the jerkbait, suggest downsizing presentations.
