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.

The bite has been a bit tougher with this cold we’ve been dealing with. You have to work a little tougher to get those bites. The bass we’re only biting the pinchers off my creature bait so I downsized and that seemed to do the trick. Black and Blue for flipping is still working and white chatterbaits.
