If you plan on catching fish on lures your best bets are probably silverwood or Pyramid you'll need to get there either very early in the morning or in the late afternoon or evening. It's a great time to throw topwater which is the is my personal favorite freshwater fishing technique. Unfortunately through out the year there are only small windows of opportunity when topwater becomes a high percentage technique. It's that time of the season now and It's all about time of day early and late. Poppers, walkers, skitters, Jitters, Soft Jerks, lipless cranks, ECT. they will all work. Some better then others depending on the day. Just get out there and walk or pop. It's mostly small fish right now but in good numbers. Schoolies are agressive and if you find yourself in the right place at the right time it can go off.

As far as spots go you just have to get out there and find them. You can read about it on the internet but by the time you have read it chances are the fish have moved to a new area and when you get there you find that you waisted your morning fishing the spot that was on a few days before along with the all the others who read the report and are on the same spot all wondering when the fish are going to start biting. If it's very early or very late and your not seeing any surface activity (bait or breaking fish) your best bet is to keep looking. I've always felt that the most successful Anglers are those who have put the most time on the water. It sure doesn't hurt to fish unfamaliar waters with someone who has it figured out either. Good luck! See you guys on the water.
