Not sure if you're fishing a river, lake or pond but right now I'd focus on the WARMEST water I could find: northeast sections of ponds/lakes and areas where water slows down on rivers (slews). Slow retrieve, dark/natural looking plastics is what I'd be throwing (and did throw yesterday, caught 6 LMs, 2 of which I posted pictures of on thread "First Bass of '09 II). I was fishing a fairly small farm pond, so the water there is going to be warmer than in moving water, but it won't be long before the slews start producing. Don't give up, KVD sure as hell wouldn't. -j.southpaw
