Just wanted to give you guys a heads up on the bite in late April. Most of the fish will be on brushpiles in 18-22ft of water suspending 10-14ft down. Maybe with this extreme cold they will still be shallow by then but not normally. Check out Louisiana department of wildlife and fisheries for gps coordinates to several man made piles on the Louisiana side. There isn't enough grass on the lake to hold them shallow. Same as last year probably. Catch them good in the morning In March on brush. As water warms up during day the bite slowed way down, probably spawning in the shallows. With no cover avilable on banks big mamma would be back on brush in morning slap full of eggs with spawning sores on their sides. JMO tight lines
