Caught a lot of fish this weekend throwing a swimbait around matted grass edges, and over the top of submerged grass from 0-6ft deep. While numbers were plentiful quality was lacking somewhat with only a handful of good fish mixed in. However, a couple more good cold fronts will push more fish and bigger fish up shallow. Big key to increasing your productivity is making sure you’re fishing clean water, and having bait present in your area as the lake is showing signs of turning over.

Water clarity in main lake was 3ft and thermocline at 18ft. Primarily used DRT Tiny Klash on deeper shaded edges and parallel to shore. There was a lot of smaller shad bait balls with crappie on them just above the thermocline. Also used reaction innovations man bear pig off grass line.

  Bluegill
This has been an interesting spring with how the weather has played out. However, right now is still a good time to cruise the shallows looking for spawning fish. When I find them I alternate between the 4 1/3" Berkley Gilly in a bluegill pattern and a 3 /12" pearl Shape 108 craw. This one two punch is super effective in getting those spawning fish to bite.
