Most of my bites came off the fall, I'd cast up to the reeds then slowly work it away from the reeds and get soft bites on it.

With the clear water (12’+ visibility) and the naturally colder water temps that come with it, forward facing sonar is hard to beat. There are many 15” or shorter fish up by the reed edges, but your 3lb+ fish are still near their wintering areas (20’+) this fish traveled from 18’ up to 8’ to eat the jerkbait.
