with the wind, i would stay in the coves and calm areas. i would have a chatter bait, a trap in silver/blue back or all silver, a red trap, and something you can pitch.  with the way our weather has been, it is going to be anyone's guess on what to do. 

It was an Amazon find. I will see if I can find it again. 

No spring means cruise control 🤣

Michael Lee Look me up on Instagram or FB and we can discuss it there.. jayreelzfishing

Kara i use this app which you can get on your phone. it helps with wind direction so you can prepare for your launch. knowing that wind will sometimes affect the bait fish by pushing them in that direction, then you can plan for were to fish.

Kara, what is the lake? with me being local maybe I can help with something. 

Michael, did you fish the NTX tourney?

I agree with Michael Lee. Temps as high as they have been give false hope since the water temp from my Saturday tourney were still 43-48 degrees. 

Brain, We were in the same spot as you. had a 1990 ChampioN 201. skinny boat, hard to team fish and needed some updating. Went to a 2023 Blazer, purchased from a friend that is a Pro. Cons was pricing and loan for the family, but the fishability and goodies, made up for the cost of "the overhaul" on the older boat.
