    Fish are stacking up farther back into pockets on points and nulls, focus in on areas with harder bottom consistency. Fish are hugging bottom due to weather but are not afraid to eat baits in the middle of the water column. Work the bait at a consistent medium pace with jerks and twitch’s mixed in.

    The conditions were windy and very post frontal, bass were moving up and down the water column near spawning areas using tree lines as highways. Used an underspin with a steady moderate to moderate fast retrieve to get a reaction strike.
