Caught a few in submerged vegetation using the berkley chop block at medium retrieve. Water temps were warming up to 70 degrees in the afternoon. Visibility was less than 2 feet and sunny. Put this chop block near the beds and you will get bit!

Caught several largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass targeting bait balls and 45 degree banks leading into spawning areas. Plenty of fish have moved up to spawn and are already on beds, but plenty are still making their way there and staged up outside of spawning areas.

Caught several pre-spawn largemouth targeting bait balls in wind blown pockets just outside of spawning areas as they prepare to move up. Let your umbrella rig sink underneath the bait and then burn it through the bait and stop it. Repeat and hold on!
