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.

Find clear water and we found fish up on beds. Any high visibility colors like bubble gum or white so you can see will work. Beds in 2-8 ft of water. Try back of coves.

Some bass on beds. Up through humbug cove. Crystal clear water down to 25 ft visibility. Rocks off points on main lake holding post spawn fish. 110 jr jerkbaits are great when they are chasing shad schools.
