Winnie fishing
Hi MSmith,
At what part of the lake are you staying? What type of boat (if any) do you have? I can probably give you some pointers with that information.
With the water temps in the upper 50's and low 60's, the fish will definitely be moving up or already up onto their beds for the spawn. I would target rocky dropoffs adjacent to spawning flats. Suspending jerkbaits, weightless soft plastic stick baits, tubes and carolina rigged lizards are all good bets. I like silver buddies too, but the water might be a bit warm for them at this point. I like to fish them with water temps in the 40's. Keep in mind that water temps will vary greatly this time of year with the main lake areas colder than the coves so look around to find water temps that you like.
Let me know what areas you're planning to fish and I can give you some specific suggestions.
Cheers and Have a Blast!
Gusman
