Blue Fleck Power worm, on the points, and they have been known to crush the Alabama Rig as well in April. I caught this big one a few years ago during a tourney there on an A - Rig. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2019/04/full-50986-9499-lake_leon_4_19_15_wsb_club.jpg)

You didnt say when yall were going to Leon. If its this weekend I would guess the upper lake @ the Chop-A-Block boat ramp on 2214 where the Leon River enters the lake is going to be chocolate milk with floaters for a little while assuming Eastland got the same flood we received here in Glen Rose. Looked like it pretty much included everyone within a couple hours of here. If I was going in the next few days or this weekend I would probably plan on putting in at the dam. Heck, some people look for the muddiest water though. Never know. Good luck.
