Weather Trend – This week will be a repeat of last week. It’s going to be a nice spring week with normal temperatures. It was nice to get that big dump of rain late last week, but we need more. Maybe next week.
What’s Working Right Now
Still seeing some shad spawn, but not much at all. Water temperatures dipped back into the 60’s and should remain pretty consistent this week. Points and rock bluffs should be your concentration this week. Downlines are becoming a better technique, especially later in the day. Pull boards and flatlines in these areas first in the morning or pitch these points if the wind is blowing hard.
