Slow rolling this big swimbait just over the top of the rocks always does well in the cooler spring and fall months. 1/8 and 1/4 swim jig heads are best. Up to 3/8 if you need to get down to 12'fow or more.

Rip Rap
First two weeks of April fishing from shore. Fish were in as shallow as possible clinging to riprap. Middle of the day was most productive. Bouncing a football jig with a craw trailer off of rock and rip rap was producing. All fish in less than 4 feet of water.

The backwaters of Pool 2 are heating up! When I launched late morning I saw 49 degree temps where there was current but 53 degree temps in shallow areas out of the current. When I left in the evening those shallow areas were 60 degrees! Caught some chunky green ones in 1-3fow near wood or laydowns. Half of them came on a Picasso Swim jig and the other half on a Booyah Covert Spinnerbait.

I had an awesome time fishing the river for the first time down there and even caught some really high-quality fish. Wood in warm bays was the main player but took a bit to locate were the fish would be. Jig was the key and caught all my fish on a jig.

Looks for natural & man made rocky shore line areas mixed with gravel. Cover water with squarebill crankbaits in Late April and Early May looking for staging smallies. Once you find them, slow down and drag green pumpkin tubes for extra fish.

Late April Pre Spawn conditions, water temps low to mid 50s. Work the laydowns and cover on north bank of Moores Lake for largies action with Flipping jigs or soft plastic texas rigs. Focus on areas where deeper water is closest to the banks & hard bottom. Few bonus pike mixed in as well. Black and blue color combos seem to be best
