I would think mud warms quickly too.

It makes sense to me Bo. Crawdads love mud! They burrow in it.  Most anglers(myself included) have ingrained thought that bass love hard bottom come spring for bedding purposes. If you found hard bottom adjacent to mud flat that would be a money spot. Thanks for the info 

correct about the crawdads for one part of the equation.

Yep. And it's a fairly unique type of bank on TR. Pretty much the backs of the rivers, can think of a few places in the backs of a creek. 

Usually a little more color too.

correct.  the situation is not everywhere and you do have to search for those areas.

was looking at the picks of mccelland and noticed the sea gulls.  they help a lot in finding those shad balls that are up in the water column.  finding the food source is the first objective.  then you can start putting in topography into the equation to help figure out where the bass are positioned.

Mud attracts shad also, I would believe it has some kind of algae on it that brings in the shad no matter if it's warm or cold.  I would also add where mud is there is runnoff, current that congregates the mud.  Just my opinion about mud.

Bo, you can see where Mike M. is fishing.  The gulls were there on my Guide trip on Monday, and have been for some time now.  We did very well there Monday.   As for MikeS. please give him my best and tell him he is in our thoughts and prayers.     This is the same location that Mike M. was fishing the Gulls

Way to go Michael  I just knew that Bertrand was going to be a load today, and he was more than that.  Bo's guy Sloan made a huge recovery, that I did not think was possible and had an excellent finish. 

Let's not forget Pete, really nice derby and again MM rules the Rock.
