Tipped the hook with a small piece of anchovy. Picked up a nice Striper throwing a Draw 6 swimbait in less tha 2’ of water. He hit the bait almost immediately after it landed in the water.

Water levels are coming up and clarity is improving as long as you stay near the main lake. Northern coves are still murky. Sighted several fishing cruising in the shallows. Bite was slow most likely due to the cold fronts that pushed through. As the weather keeps warming up fish should start appearing on beds. Several followers with swim baits.
