How to work it
Faster retrieve, reaction bites
Color
Natural or translucent colors (shad, green pumpkin) — clear skies push fish tighter to shade/cover
Where in the water
Shallow to mid-column, especially near cover
Why
- Warm water (68°F) means high metabolism — aggressive, reaction-triggering baits work well.
- Bright, clear skies push fish tight to cover/shade — natural colors avoid spooking wary fish.
