This report is for Wed. the 7th. What a beautiful day! I had a 1/2 day trip that started at 9AM. The fishing was great,the sunshine had the fish pulled up into 4 to 6 ft. of water and they had food on their minds. 8 fish total the best 5 weighed about 14 lbs.All but one were caught on the Shakee Shad from Strictly Bass Lures in Red Shad color.The Shakee Shad is my favorite bait in late Winter/early Spring. This series of flat sided crankbaits feature a computer-aided/field tested design that gives a vibration and action of a balsa wood bait from plastic. A semi-bouyant 1/4 oz. body with rattles and a diving depth of 5 1/2 ft.It has a tight strong erratic wobble that drives fish crazy.Go to www.strictlybasslures.com and check out the Shakee Shad (LCB).Be Safe and God Bless, Jim Burks
