Water was decently clear and fish were on long points and chasing bait. Most reaction baits could catch them, but a crankbait and umbrella rig seemed to work the best on cold days. Best way to fish the crankbait was to reel really fast and then pausing 3-4 times per cast. Fish seemed to be slapping at the crankbait and having upgraded treble hooks made a real difference.

Fished event three of the Choo-Choo division of the MLF BFLs on Wheeler lake. Was able to finish 17th as a co-angler with a 9' 13 " bag. Caught all my keepers working current seems in 8-10 feet of water. Water temp was 56 degree and we has post front conditions. Fish just did not seem to react to moving baits today even thought we had a nice breeze.
