Glad you had a pretty decent trip on the big lakes and I sure liked seeing some of those brown fish mixed in. Pretty telling with the snow still on the ground in the background of your pictures with old man winter finger prints all over. But it should get better every week from here. When you mentioned catching them shallow -- I have caught them in 1 to 2 feet of water at times on sunny gravel banks this time of year. The pause is crucial but it blows my mind sometimes how shallow they will go I have caught big fish that way not just small to mids. Also KY usually warms up quicker as it flows from the south. Kind of odd in that the main lake often warms up before the bays in late winter so you have to be aware of where the warmth is (or is not). Look forward to giving it a shot myself maybe this coming weekend will work out.

Over and out...
