Splake

Hi Everyone , I'm heading to some back lakes for first time splake fishing , just wanted to reach out to everyone and any advice or tips would be much appreciated
I've never really fishing for them before in the winter

Personally any of the back lakes I fish for spake I have my best luck in 5 to 10 ft of water jigging a 1/4 oz gold or silver jigging spoon tipped with a minnow and I always have a still line with 4-way spreader tipped with minnows that has produced nicely as well to.

Splake are finicky critters after getting a bit of pressure. One day they will be on shallow drop offs and weed beds like a Speck and the next you will find them in 40 feet of water acting like a laker.

Best advice is to be there early, find your spot and set up if an hour offers nothing pick up and try a different spot. Recently used holes are something I tend to avoid as thats where the little fellas will be.
