Mid January in VB

So far the only bite I've been able to find consistently is when the sun has reached it's peak and the heat of the day is setting in. I've been using a jerk bait because I hate throwing it and I'm trying to grow in that area. I've also had some success with a white Jack hammer in the lily pad areas now that they're fish-able. I plan to start using a DT 6 in Helsinki shad color and a square bill around wood doing some speed cranking. I've also been coming flats with a red eye lip less crank bait. I haven't had any luck with the lip less yet but I feel like it's just a matter of time till that kicks in around those transition areas around the shallows. Godspeed, Brothers and Sisters!
