Default Need a tip for tomorrow

Okay, here's the scenario:

150 acre lake with gradual slope to about 15 feet except in one corner
where it drops to about 25. Reeds and lilly pads around perimeter with
modest amount of weed cover on fairly firm bottom.

Tomorrow's morning air temp about 35 gradually warming to a high of
68.

Very sunny, few clouds.

Water surface temp about 60.

Winds relatively calm and water surface relatively still. Probably
glass first thing in the AM.

This is Central Florida. Bass are starting to bed.

What do you suggest?

Keith, I faced a similiar scenario and just killed em with a four inch salt
impregnated lizard, black with florecent tail. I caught a couple of five
pounders but then had one on that had to be ten pounds easy. Unfortunately I
woke up and it was eight degrees out, the lakes are all frozen, and the twenty
mile an hour wind makes it feel like 30 below. I'm envious,

Steve

If it were me, I'd be trying 4" and 5" Senkos weightless Texas rigged and
deadsticked around the beds. I'd also try twitching them on wacky rigs.

I'd try natural colors like watermelons, etc. as well as some brighter white
and chartreuse colors.

I'd also throw some 4" tubes or Fat Ikas too.

35 degrees in Central Florida? Do yourself a favor & do some work around
the house!

Are you sure I'm not married to you?

It warmed up quickly, but never did do much in the five hours I was
out. Caught three small, but legal, 2 on a watermelon seed lizard in
the shallows and one on a drop shot in deep water (20'). Nice day to
be on the lake, though. Warmed up to the upper sixties, sunny as all
get out. Hopefully, next weekend will be nice. Come to think about it,
today doesn't look too bad. About 75, overcast and relatively calm
wind. Don't know what the water temp is like, but I doubt it has
moved much--around 60-62. Hmmmmm.
