First off thank's for the compliment but I'm far from a "top dog." There's some awful good fishermen around here. As for the help... Man I'm on the boat right now & have been out of the loop for about 3 weeks. I get off on the 7th. Here's what you're look'n at.

The water is coming up and probably a little stained. The forecast for this week is highs in the 60's & lows in the 40's with a chance of rain on a couple of days. That stained/muddy water is gonna suck the sun right up & the water temp is gonna climb quick. The Blacks are probably do'n it right now and if the water warms like I think it will the White should be right on their heels. The Whites don't mind the stained water as much as the Blacks so I really look for the white bite to pick up shallow. Best thing I can tell ya is find some shallow brush/stake beds & cast to them. I would use a 1/16 oz roadrunner, curly tail, & scents to give off some vibration & offset the visability issue. I also like rattle bobbers & jig combo. Check the banks earley & late in the day. There will still be some fish in the 8' to 10' stuff too. Might even try spider riggin in the shallows back in little jonathan.

Wish I was home. Maybe I could be more help.
