I never started this early in the season before so I asked a few more experienced cold water anglers. They all advised jigs, craws, anything really slow. Nothing worked. So I started going back to what I knew better. As soon as I tried on crankbaits, swimbaits and spinners I started catching fish. They're not hitting worms yet but my roommate gets at least 2 fish on a rage craw everytime he's been out. You just got to find what they want.
