Outstanding pre-spawn bite on Spirit. Found fish all over the typical spots- boulders and gravel transitions off Big Stoney, Little Stoney, and Red Nose Point(s). Started with a Jerkbait, but changed to football jigs and found success. Fish were deeper than expected. Slow dragging followed by aggressive hop produced the most strikes.

Very simple but definitely took some time. All I was doing was making as long of casts as I could make and just reeling it back in slowly. If you happened to get gunked up with the dead vegetation on the bottom then you might get a bite when you pop it clean.
