Not fishing until Memorial Day has to be painful.
On the very small cranks I use the fly clips as well. Just a snap as a rule most of the time.
We had serious high water/run-off this spring that opened a lake just north of home up and I've been there a few times off a dock tinkering with these small crank baits and plastics but no action yet. The water temp was 43 degrees at the last trip and I need about 50 degrees to see any consistent smallie or crappie action out there. Maybe one day this week again now that we've seen a couple 50 degree days and yesterday's 64 degrees.
I have another 65-70 small baits to paint yet so when the weather sucks I do that. If its decent out I'm cleaning gardens or doing plastics. Or trying to fish. And I may have this order of things mixed up occasionally. lol
