Had just a few hours to fish. Picked up bites dragging a 1/2 ounce football jig along the weed edges. Fish still in all phases of the spawn with water temps between 66-68 degrees.

I was actually targeting pike or Muskie around shallow Lilly pad fields when this quality largie showed himself. There are multiple pad fields through the southern part of the lake. I was just targeting the edges and keeping the bait as shallow as possible. The water is very clear but tannic. This color Jerkbaits stands out but still stealthy! The fast action on this Bass X works well to send the bait. As far as the line goes I trust sunlime FC sniper more than any other Fluoro!

Most bites were in 4-8’ of water. Finesse jigs and Neko rigs did the bulk of the damage today with a few drop shot fish mixed in. Rock bass were abundant and active, but a sure fire sign we were too shallow.

Cashed a check in our Monday nighter! Fish were mostly prespawn with some fish on beds. We caught our fish throwing swimjigs and neds when we saw cruisers. The Hayabusa Lil Schmitty is a baddddd little swimjig. Give it a try!

Fish in all stages of the spawn. Shallow spawners and fry guarders were biting early and often in the shallows…..as the day wore on they bite dried up and found a secondary pattern on the weed edges. Most bites were on the bottom with a very few chasing the bait up in the water column. Lots of 1.25 to 2 pound buck bass.

The fish were pushing shallow to spawn and was just getting them on the incoming pad stems and roots. Super aggressive and would just burn the chatterbait right over the tops of the pads.

Skipped jig under docks that had wooden posts and under the first section of docks out from shore. Also skipped under overhanging willow trees along rock transitions into soft bottom areas. Bonus walleye bites in same areas.

Casted towards shallow water where the weeds started to float on the surface, but mostly got bite when I was walking the dog.
