If you haven’t used the Geecrack Neko Hack you need to. Slammed them on Neko rig and these held up perfectly! Paired with a Slink O and hang on for the bite! Fished in grass pockets. Will be trying with some GeeCrack plastics shortly on brim beds

I caught over 30 bass on unpegged Texas rigged senko's in 4-12 feet of water. I was targeting sparse submerged grass clumps that were just barely topped out to the surface. Specifically the grass on the outside of areas with shell beds shallow where bluegills were spawning. I was fishing aggressively ripping and popping the Texas Rig over/through these grass clumps and they were smashing it. Ended up with over 50 bass that day and 36 of them came on an unpegged Texas rigged senko. The other fish came on a walking topwater, spinner baits, and chatterbaits during the early shad spawn and I had a handful on bluegill patterned popping frogs in the pads.

Caught a 27 lb limit, with a 9 lb kicker, fishing shallow grass around spawning flats with stumps. Early in the morning I caught a bunch on buzz baits in 1 - 4 ft of water. The bigger females all came on chatterbaits and swim jigs imitating gizzard shad in 5-10 ft of water just outside the spawning flats.

Bass were feeding on shad in the morning. Chatterbait worked best. Later in the morning I caught them shallow feeding on bluegill using senkos, frogs, and some other soft plastics.

We fished the north end of Guntersville out of Goose Pond this afternoon. A front came through before we went out so it may have got the fish in a funk. The bite was tough. We caught about 15 fish in 5 hours but not many good ones. We went to a grass edge right next to the main river channel and found fish suspended in about 5-8 ft of water so a shallow jerkbait was a key bait to get bit. We caught about 10 on that pattern but only 1 keepers but did lose a 3 1/2 lb spotted bass right at the boat. Then we moved to some grass in 3-4 ft of water and caught some 3 pounders on a chatterbait to end the day. Find me on youtube at https://www.youtube.com/ @aandwoutdoors

Focused on post spawn females that were located in the thickest reeds and grass beds. The ideal technique was swimming a jig aggressively through through the grass to generate a strike. The strikes were extremely aggressive, to the point of ripping the skirt and trailer off the jig itself.

The bass were chasing shad in the open parts of the grass mats. Threw up in the open area, gave it a couple snaps with the rod tip. This produced a couple fish.

Caught spots on points with Shakey heads like previous report, but moved on to docks in protected areas due to wind issues. Caught a few quality largemouths on docks around 12 depth range near dropoffs and channel swing banks. Bluegill color used in clearer water, red in muddier water.
