i work at night and get off work at 6 a.m. as soon as i get off literally every morning I haul but to the pond or to the lake and fish for at least an hour every morning. Early mornings when the sun is rising or just coming up. I've had real good luck with spinner baits and buzzbaits after 8-830 with the temperature as hot as it is now by 0800 they are not striking spinners & buzzbaits for me. I switch to plastics.. I've been having lots of luck with the swimming fluke's.. What I wish I could have luck with is a jig I have a box full of different style and colored jigs but have never had luck with any of them... Winterhawk what lake are you going to?
