They are chasing shad that was recently introduced in the shallows. They are cautious on the bite but when they commit that hammer it.

They are on bait. Don’t waste time combing the ledges yet, we are still a few weeks out. Head shallow and cover water. If they are there you will find them.

The fish appear to be transitioning from creeks to bigger water. With that in mind, I started running parallel with the shallower channel ledges (+/- 20’ of depth) near creek mouths. The water was very stained and when I switched to the albino trailer, I landed 3 keepers in about 15 minutes. Kentucky Lake bass love scrounger heads!

The key was to work it super slow and pop it over the rocks, the bass would crush it as soon as it popped over.

Fish are moving off of the beds and pulling tight to the closest hard cover. Any wood cover I pitched to near spawning areas had a fish on it. Shad spawns in the mornings make for a fun bite also!

Water is up again after the previous rainstorms over the past several days, which is a good thing. Was not sure on what to put for the products used because they are not on here currently. The bait used was actually the new "Rebel Raider" in the Citrus Shad color. The reel is the Ark Gravit BFS reel. The rod, the Cashion Icon 6' 8'' BFS ultralight, also not sold here yet. The 6' 10" light version sold here is probably the closest match. Bass are in pre-spawn mode at the moment and are eating in the shallows to bulk up. Another bait they seem to like is the 1/4-ounce Bomber crankbaits in the 2 inch version with the baby bass pattern. Eating their own kind perhaps?
