Happy Easter SUF family!
The Z man Fatty Z on a shakeyhead has caught me over 50 fish the last 2 tournaments.
I haven’t been using a ton of Zman products in the past but im a huge believer now. I’m picking up some of the SMH worms to give them a shot also.
Hope this helps someone.

Happy Easter, everyone! Got out yesterday and I have to say it was a great live scope day. Super clear picture despite high winds. I had great success locating fish, even targeting them and getting them to chase my bait. But couldn't get them to bite, mostly. It's been warming up here in MI but the water temp was still below 50. This smallie was in ~10-15 feet of water. Caught it on a lipless. 3lb 17in. Then I parked in that spot (see live scope) and threw everything in my boat at them. They would chase, but not take. Not sure if those are bass and I just couldn't crack the code, or if those were smaller bait fish and I just got lucky that there was a smallie hanging around. I need a lot more practice to ID bass on the scope. Hope you all have great outings this weekend!
Okay, the confidence is back. Today, I weighed 6 lbs 6.5 oz, 3 lbs 3 oz, and several 1 - 2 lbs. I had my wife with me for good luck. Water temperatures ranged from 48 to 55. The windy open water was 48, while the shallow isolated water was 55. The males were everywhere, including that shallow 55, while the females seemed deeper and tight to cover. I had my confidence bait and rod: a Genesis rod - 7'0" Med-Heavy Fast and a 3/8 oz jig with 3-inch trailers, color green/brown.
Spring time+ stained water+ lay downs+ spinner bait= !?!?! Catfish !?!?! Lake Juliette math ain't mathin'!!! Have y'all ever caught a catfish on a bass bait?
