Boat drift recommended
A gentle ripple is ideal for drifting — broadside drift covering the wind lanes should be productive.
Approach
Start with Black Buzzer (12-14) on a slow figure-of-eight or hang under indicator. If that does not produce, switch depth or speed before changing the pattern entirely.

What to watch
The best window in early season is often late morning through the afternoon as the water warms.
Plan B: If nothing responds, try a slow-retrieved small lure through the deeper water.
