It was a typical post spawn day of fishing when the wacky rigged senko was can't miss. Some were caught flipping and dropshotting also but the wacky rigged Berkley maxscent general was the dominant presentation. Nothing real big was caught as it mostly 1-2 pounders but there were a few solid ones pushing 3 pounds caught and of course a couple of even bigger ones that were unfortunately lost during battle but hey, that's fishing. All in all it was a non stop day of fun.

The spawn was on and I came across some big girls that were sitting on beds. Didn't spend a lot of time trying to entice them but did manage to get several males pitching a rage bug and throwing a wacky rigged senko. Did manage to pick off this 3.5 pounder that I assume wasn't ready to spawn yet. Was a fun day all in all.

The males are starting to move up shallow getting ready for the spawn. Got multiple bites on a suspending shallow jerkbait working it with a standard twitch and pause retrieve. Pausing for a few seconds worked best.

It took a few hours to get going. Couldn't get on a pattern but then the weather turned in the afternoon and it definitely spurred them on including this big girl that weighed in at 5.7 lbs. The strike king rage bug was the ticket once again.
