Spring is a great time to cast Chatter Baits on the shorelines and shallow points. Look for shallow rocky shorelines that have a slow taper and put your trolling motor down and start casting the shoreline. Very your speed and direction. I like to tie about 5’ or XT to the fireline as a little shock absorber, check your knots and the last few feet of line often for nicks. Good luck!🎣
