Got a report yesterday of fish being caught spider rig'n in the mouths of the bays 10' deep in 12' of water.

If the lake is stable I'll bet ya a dollar you can find fish on shallow humps in the mouths of certain bays as shallow as 8'. Those Blacks will take advantage of a warm spell and rising water this time if year. Me and some buddies found them a few yrs ago, in late Feb./early March, in the back of a shallow bay during high water, 3' deep in 5' of water. Water was muddy and 42 degrees. They were all BIG Blacks! Spanked'um casting jigs under bobbers for about 4 days in a row.

Another year I got into'um big time in the middle of a bay, 8' deep in 10' of water. Caught a limit of big Blacks. Busted the tail lights on my trailer out with ice that morning putting in. It was sleeting and spitting snow toward the end. Liketa not got my boat back outta the lake that day due to ice on the ramp.

I can't wait!!!
Whiskers, what color do you like to use in muddy water? Float or tightline? Do you think it is a waste of time to cast when water is muddy during the winter?
