There are 2 bites going on. The shallow grass bite and the deep shad bite. Cover water shallow with a toad, frog or swim jig. Fish offshore with spoons, drop shots and an A Rig. Finding shad is key.

Finding shad is key on Lake of Egypt in the winter. If the shad are hiding or the wind is blowing to hard to stay around them then a shakey head is a good back up. On December 27th I caught several fish using a shakey head. Rock on points was key.

Fished Egypt on 12-31-21. Caught a ton of fish targeting bass relating to shad in 22-27 feet of water. We were using a flutter spoon, blade bait and A Rig. Overcast conditions with 10 MPH winds. Water temps were 54-55 with 4-5 feet visibility. The whole key is to graph. Use your electronics to find bass relating to shad.

I fished a big tournament on this lake in the fall. I was able to catch a solid 3.5 pound bass on a football jig next to one of the many pine tree island sections of the lake. We got one more bass off a dock on a jig. Besides those two, we caught a handful yo-yoing bladebaits and spoons over deep river channels.
