Fishing Tips:
- Plastic worms worked slowly and are usually effective for bass when the water temperature is below 55 degrees.
- When water temperatures warm to above 55 degrees, try small crayfish-colored Rat-L-Traps to fish in shallow water in the early mornings and late afternoons.
- Fish deeper and around cover during the midday hours.
