  I found bass in pockets in 3 to 8 feet of water. I fish the Tugaloo arm, so I don't know how fast the main lake warms.

  The fish will likely be in a prespawn. If water temps are are around 50 degrees the bass will be on points and can be caught with balsa cranks like a shad rap and ...more jerkbaits like a clown or glass ghost X Rap Deep. When the water reaches 53 degrees, they will move up on secondary points and gradually make their way up to spawning pockets. Most fish spawn at 60 degrees. Use lots of search baits (preferably crawfish colored square bills and red eyes) to locate fish and then slow down to a Carolina rig or jig. Havoc sick fish swimbaits shine during the spawn.
