Water is still very low and muddy. Water temps were in the low to mid 70's. Smallmouth were about the only thing biting around the Lansing bridge area. Largemouth were found randomly but the smallmouth were on rock piles and laydowns along the channel and secondary channels. Lots of really small are biting but the occasional 15" smallie can be found. Throw a neg rig shallow and drag it along the rocks. A Texas rig along the rocks and in laydowns will also produce if there is current. The bass are chasing baitfish so a fluke will also work.
