Went out on Truman Lake this Saturday and Sunday. I only caught five bass and one big drum (jerk bait). Water temperature was 49.7 to 50 degrees and murky. My electronics showed several fish in the 25 – 30’ depths. Mostly off of main points and bluffs. I anchored over them but couldn’t get ant bites. I tried vertical jigging, deep cranks, lipless cranks, and hopping a jig down the fall line. Nothing.
Moved in to secondary points (15’ depth) and worked a chartreuse deep crank. Caught 3 of the 5 like that. Caught one on a red worm and one on a lizard. Tried the jerk baits but only caught the drum (which was fun).
Never really fished this early and wanted to know what should I have tried different? I tried to keep the presentation slow but I think I might have still been faster than I should have. Most bass were caught about 5 - 10 yards from the bank in about 10’. Most hit the crank when it was moving!
