Really had to slow down today. Was able to locate some brush piles then got some to bite the jerkbait. Followed up with a trick worm before I moved on. Overall was decent morning just had to cover water.

Looked for brush in 8-10’ near rocky banks. Used a wackey rig to pick them apart. Weightless or with core tackle wackey shot to get deeper and fish faster.

We were catching wipers on wind-blown points throwing single swimmers and a-rigs. Having livescope was key to finding the big schools. Hang on because they demolish it!!

Rough tournament for me. 43rd out of 75 boats. Caught one keeper and multiple short fish with shakey heads and some on wacky rigs. Most fish were spawning or paired up about to spawn.

We won a local derb out here fishing pondweed with jerkbaits and traps. We only got 5 keeper bites all day, but they were the right ones totaling out at 11.90 pounds.

Most fish were being caught off of structure/weed edges using a suspending or slow sinking jerkbait. Fairly slow and should heat up in the coming weeks as the temps start to rise
