With water temps between 48-55°, we found fish by the mile roads relating to shallow wood and lay downs between 6-9 feet of water. We fished a Berkley Stunna 112 around dirty water areas with warmer water and baitfish activity. Focusing on areas with dirty, warmer water, was key when the Mile Roads were predominantly ultra clear and cold (sub 48°).
