Be on the look out for beds make sure your leader length between weight an hook is 4 to 5 inches had my big fish for the day was 4.27 it wrapt me up I honestly believe if I didn't have mastiff it would have broke me off also think the thin diameter helped me get the bite after I tried multiple baits with diffrent line

Found pre-spawn fish along and underneath docks with deep water access. Bass were loosely hanging to the docks in low light and moved far underneath docks once the sun got high. Bite was nearly non-existent, so you made to watch your line for movement to detect bites.

Fished throughout the lack and found fish in various stages of the spawn. The most aggressive fish were post-spawn and chasing shallow bluegill around stumps, rocks, and docks. Best bite came late afternoon after showers left the area and the sun began to shine.

Fishing a tournament on the Potomac. I don’t prefer fishing spinnerbaits, but they will come through the pads without snagging and catch fish! 40lb braid mainline with a 15lb fluoro leader. Alberto knot on the braid to fluoro connection and San Diego jam knot on the lure connection.

Expected fish on beds but did not find them. 15mph wind with gusts to 30 kept things interesting and hard to fish main lake points. Caught one good one off a letdown in the back of a windy cove.

Fish were moving up for the spawn they were slamming the Double Colorado Nichols Rado spinnerbait thrown right on the bank. Water was very stained so the coleslaw color with the big Colorado blade was very effective.

Moving baits were key to getting bites in dirty water. No good on a spinnerbait but the ZMan EVO was hooking em good and hard!

Working down the bank with a shaky head. 4lber choked it on the retrieve. She was swimming with it and I didn’t even know she was there at first. To make matters worse, I was fumbling with the net like a rookie. Amateur hour. 😂

Throwing a fire craw jackhammer over submerged Lilly pads on high tide. The 5-1/2” trailer got me a couple short strikes. I think I’ll switch up to the 4-1/2” spunk shad next trip.

Lot of rain came in over the past week so the river was chocolate milk. I couldn’t get bit on a moving bait. Fished around pilings with a shaky head and black trick worm and landed a couple. Water temp was reading 48 on the depth finder, so I expect it to get better in the coming weeks.
