The topwater bite on Martin is not quite in full swing yet but in the first and last 2 hours of the day, you can find schooling fish on almost any shoal or point. Look for points and shoals that are in anywhere from 15' to 30' of water and work a topwater or jerk bait and it should produce some bites. When these spotted bass come up you need to be ready to fire in the middle of them before they go back down and miss the action.

Bite was tough due to some not-so-ideal conditions with little to no wind a a hot sun most of the day. Around mid-morning the wind picked up and got the bigger fish biting moving baits on main lake humps.
