Water levels seem back to normal, water clarity normal in the backwaters in the Finger Lakes. Water temperature was at 49.5 degrees so bite will continue to get better. Bass were feeding on baitfish so the Jack Hammer with a cut Hog Farmer pintail definitely did the trick. I would recommend a leader in the backwaters with the amount of northerns that are there. Most of the fish caught were in 4 feet of water on the weed lines.
