Seems to me the last few times I have been in mid-march the smaller largemouths have been moving into the steak beds in water between 5-10 ft deep as the crappie (what few I have managed to catch) move out of those locations. No problems catching them on white spinners of any size (in KY Lake I prefer twin silver willow blades) but if you're looking for numbers I'd go with 1/4 oz. Live minnows on the old slip float work well also but are more effective for me when there is enough wind to break the surface up a bit which with this rig and my old mans SeaNymph helps to add a little bit more action (this is pretty much the norm on the lake for Griswolds like me, hi Glen, Larry, Jackie). Those mid-running Rapala jerkbaits work well in those fifteen minutes before dawn and dusk when the water is flat, if it flattens out, I prefer silver bottom with black back. Have occasionally found larger fish on windswept points at the mouths of coves and creek mouths. Wailed on the Gar in the high water last April on anything that swims, just throwing that in there just in case. Don't get to spend much time down there but that's whats worked for me.
