Shallow Fish ?

Champ188, Shallow to Table Rock, 25 feet is deep here in Nebraska ! LOL

Billfo...if you want to look shallow year round try the Ned Rig. Half of a senko, zero, or ZinkerZ stuck to a 1/16oz ball or mushroom head, on some 6# floro. Good out to about 12'. Throw it between docks, plain gravel and chunk rock in coves, riprap and prop wash areas around ramps, especially resort and private ramps. Fish it slowly...drag, swim, shake and drag, dead stick. It will work, there are fish in those places, and some good ones too. Ned is catching them in 39 degree water in KS on it this week, less than 10' deep.

Being from IA originally and living in KS, I get the depth shock. Remember, at TR you can be sitting in 30' and still throw and catch fish up in 10'. The lake is full of fish.

Just to clarify my question, I was more looking for IF the fish have moved up looking for warm shallow water after the long winter.

Now you tell us...bet on still deeper and suspended. Try the little rig. Ned had 100+ on it yesterday in cold water in KS. If there are any shallow it will find them for you quickly.

As the evening sun is up longer some will start ot move almost regardless of water temp. Both are triggers.

Am I missing something here. Who's Ned?
