The water north of the 44 bridge is still really muddy, so I stayed south of the bridge focusing on docs that had deeper water near by. I haven't gotten bit on any moving bait the last two outings, but the jig bite is still really good on the docks.

Lake level was full after a heavy rain that made the upper lake a mudhole. I saw temps from 52-55, and caught all of my fish in less than 5 feet of water right up next to cover. The bite was tough, but the quality was there. I'd recommend focusing wood right now whether it's docks or laydowns. Fish should be pulled up on the wood pretty tight with the water being chocolate milk.
