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.

Bass were very active in the shallows but still have not seen very many of the big females there. With this warm-up the bass will definitely be more active. Unfortunately a lot of the backwaters I fished already had a lot of algae so that made fishing a little tougher. All of the bass I caught were on white color baits. With the Megabass swimbait being a favorite.
