Fished a kayak tournament on Truman this past weekend. Caught good numbers of fish slow rolling a lipless along bluff walls. Fish seemed to be staged on bluffs located within the first 1/3 of pockets that were filled with baitfish. The shad appear to be starting their push back in the pockets and the bass are following. The bigger bites came bouncing the bait off of isolated submerged laydowns and standing timber in 8-10 FOW. Slow rolling was key in low light and overcast conditions to trigger bites. Schools fish would often swipe at, or bump, the bait. Making multiple casts back to that same area would produce bites as well. Water temps were still in the upper 70s.
