Ok, got my gear ready and now ready to catch a few. Will probably go Saturday regardless of rain and Berkley tourney since I don't get much time. Not wanting honey holes, just some ideas on what I should try. Thx.

What's up my friend,
Timber. Look for the cedar trees. West arm north of the 2946 bridge. Jig tipped with a minnow or straight minnow. Some really nice fish caught last Friday/Saturday over there.

Wow, I thought I could get a few more tips after getting so much help when I asked about using Hi Viz braid. Anybody else willing to share what depth and best color jig? Thx again.

two-tone jigs with a lot of contrast...blk/white..chart/black..black/green.. purple/chart... I'd start about 20-22 feet and work your way shallow..they maybe in 20 feet, but biting up in 10-12 feet.. look, fish, and move...

If you don't have a clue where to start, fish the bridge pillars on either arm. Fish will be moving this time of year and the bridges are natural holding spots. Good luck.

Stop by and visit Tbox, he will help you out on good color combos, and may even sneak in a fishing report, if you are nice!

Something with chartreuse or orange should be good for a few days while the water is murky.

Yes. It will. Those contrast colors will work with s little adjustment.I can find fish on Any lake with contrast colors. Fish are on the move with baitfish... Always.
