Need advice for pre spawn tactics
Guys,
Blanked the othe day on the small (550 acre) lake next to my home here in central Illinois. I pounded the banks w/ spinnerbaits, cranks and jointed minnows. A few short strikes but nada... Tried deep w/ senko rigged wacky, texas...nada Typical conditions: Water temp: 58-62 Pre-emergent weeds (sparse growth at this time) Water stained, muddy visibility poor 8" to 12" Saw lots of fish deep 8' to 12' suspended Weather is yo yoing between spring fronts Lake depth goes to 22', long, somewhat narrow, stream fed, fine silt bottom mostly. What should I try and key on for presentations for this time of year? Suthern |

.. . . o . . . w . . . n. . . . . . In central IL, bass should be in the pre-spawn feeding stage, but sounds like fluctuating weather has shut them down. Even then, they can be enticed to bite. Just fish twice as slowly as you do later in the summer. And then, if you're not getting bit, slow it down even farther. Drop-shotting would be a good choice in your case.

Yesterday, could not get a bite until I just let my fluke sit there on the
bottom, and even then it was so subtle, never felt the fish, just saw the line twitch momentarily "Joe Haubenreich" rofbmail (at) secretweaponlures (dot) com wrote in message ...
