Air temps- 40-50 degrees Winds 10-20 and sunny conditions After a large drop in temperature the last week the fish backed out of the shallow water. Most of the fish came on a jerkbait on the break line with relatively long pauses. The fish on the break were positioned on the color line and would ambush when the jerkbait came over the break. Also caught a few on a minimax up shallow in wind blown dirty water on a small secondary pattern I found.
