Got out again today. Second day this year. Temperature was 29° to start. A character builder. Water temperature dropped overnight from 50° down to 45° at the start. We did ok today still using the 2.8” Keitech. Nothing else produced. Tried crank baits, wacky worms, chatter bait, underspins, and buzz baits. Only the Keitech produced.
My brother caught the first two fish and then I caught one. All before 0900.
The fish are relating to wood or grass or rocks. Perhaps they heat up faster and provide a better comfort level.
Heading out again in the morning.
Winds were WSW at 9 gusting to 19 MPH. We had white caps and then no white caps. Mother Nature had her way. I caught another quality bass weighing in at 4.14 pounds.
Another fun day with no skunk.

This is a tip to get you more fish on your stringer. Adding a stick-on eye or painted eye to your lures is an effective way to get more strikes. I have been doing this for years now and I get more strikes and hook ups than with the same lure with no eyes. It has been proven that predatory fish target bait fish eyes. As you may know many species of fish have tail spots like the Red Drum (Redfish, Channel Bass) have an eye spot on their tails so predators go after their tails rather than their real eyes on their heads. Many lures come with eyes either molded, painted or stick-ons, especially plugs (crank baits and jerk baits - see photo) but if yours don’t you can do your own. You can purchase self adhesive eyes from many vendors such as those on Ebay or paint your own with enamel paint and a few nails of various sizes to get the eye colors you want. Dip a nail head into your paint and touch it to your lure to get a circular shape. Let it dry then select a smaller nail head and repeat to get your pupil. Give this a try a see what happens. Tight lines!
