We run 1.5 to 1.8 with bandit 300's around underwater creek banks and drop off edges .Somedays they are good and somedays not.Best colors are hot pink and orange crawdad. Water temp right now on the big G is 88° around the bridges.I would think it is hotter in shallower parts of the lake. Best bet would be to find callshy and follow him around................KIDDING HA
