The boat ramp isn’t terrible, but parking is weird. I had to back the trailer a quarter mile to the ramp to leave. The fish must not have wanted anything I tried, smallmouth or large mouth, all I caught was skunk. Probably never driving 2 hours for this again.

I changed things up a little from my normal techniques to see if I could get into some larger fish. It's so hard for me not to get sucked up to the shoreline, but I stayed off shore and looked for drop offs in the 20-30 foot range. This sudden cold front seems to have pushed the spawners back out a bit. It took a little patience, but if you twitched those Baby Z's just right, they would take'm. Seems like as long as you have some kind of shimmer in the color pattern, they'll go for it.

This is my third report in a row with amazing results using the 6th Sense Provoke Jerk Bait, Shad pattern. It was rainy all day, about 25 degrees colder than it's been for over a week...so wasn't sure what the spots were going to be doing...turns out they were roaming the points. At midday, I thought I finally hooked into one Bullard's legendary bign's only to be surprised with my first ever double hook-up with two 2 pounders. Does that count as 4 pounder??? If this picture doesn't convince you to hit that Hot Bait link and try some of these provokes....well...

Largies are staging around laydowns and fast twitching a Jerkbait is a very cool visual bite and will put quality in the boat.

Caught a lot of fish this trip. All came from around the hay grass. Best bite came early while it was overcast and foggy. Alternated between the Senko in watermelon red and the white jackhammer with a zoom twin tail white trailer. Bite slowed down once the sun got up. Post spawn is in full-swing. Still can catch a few late spawners as well.

Caught lots of bucks up between bank and docks on drop shot and flipping. Bigger females came in the 8-10ft range on brush still staging to spawn. Few females spotted on bed. Larger fish all came on the Ned

Fishing grass edges got 4 bass for me, 5 for dad. Boat ramp and parking is superb, probably the easiest launch I’ve ever done, and water was crazy clear. We will be back!

It’s a mixed bag out here of pre-spawn, spawn, and post spawn. But the chatterbait they couldn’t resist.

Largemouth were moved up shallow in north bays chasing around panfish. Caught them on swim jigs, flukes, and small swimbaits (10000 Fish Headhunter).
