New to the fourms and a jerkbait ?

[WIKID]

Hi guys i have been reading a bunch of stuff on here over the past few weeks and you have givin me some much needed help.

Ok so heres the situation, I have fished tournaments in the past be never this early in the season. I have a little mini tournament not huge money but enough. Now its not till the second weekend in May, however i am in Wisconsin and we have had a really cold spring.

We are fishin smallies on lower long lake, water temps between 46 and 52 tops, and crystal clear water ( you can site fish when they spawn in 18 foot of water).

Now my question is, Do i throw jerk baits on some underwater points? and if so do you have some suggestions as to brands and colors? and also do I slow everything way down and fish cover with a jig or something like that?


Thanks for the help guys?
