Medium diving cranking with braid to leader you feel absolutely everything and it gets down immediately.

If you havent been fishing Twain this year, you are missing out! The last few Joe Bass Team Trail tournaments have seen several 20+ pound bags being weighed! Overcast skies and cooler than average air temps are seemingly keeping the water temps down. I found 66-68 degree water in the mid-lake area. Most of the lake is DIRTY with less that 3-6" of visibility. Fishing the 3XD near standing timber was the key today. The cooler temps seem to have slowed the move to summer haunts but a few days of fire in the sky could change that. The spinnerbait was a player today and I had a few run with the power worm that I didn't set the hook on. Tight lines!

Fish have definitely moved out to the points. Slow and steady is gonna be the pace from here on out.

Yet another day for us on MTL. 2 catches total and both came on the infamous KVD 1.5. Weather wasn't bad and the lake was just above normal pool.
