What’s the ideal lure for casting for spring Browns? I’d imagine spoons and stickbaits- what size works best and what colors do you prefer? Was thinking of stocking up on 3/4 oz and 2/3 oz little cleos.

I know that in early spring they’re in shallow water feeding on baitfish but what are they doing now postspawn? Are they still hiding in the creeks or are they back out in the lakes? Thinking of casting at some piers this weekend if there’s a chance they’d be nearby.
