We fished the north end of Guntersville out of Goose Pond this afternoon. A front came through before we went out so it may have got the fish in a funk. The bite was tough. We caught about 15 fish in 5 hours but not many good ones. We started off ledge fishing and didn’t get bit so we went to a grass edge right next to the main river channel and found fish suspended in about 5-8 ft of water so a shallow jerkbait was a key bait to get bit. We caught about 10 on that pattern but only 1 keepers but did lose a 3 1/2 lb spotted bass right at the boat. Then we moved to some grass in 3-4 ft of water and caught some 3 pounders on a chatterbait to end the day. Find me on youtube at https://www.youtube.com/ @aandwoutdoors

Twitching along the bottom with random pauses. The fish were small in this pond so I cut the UV worm in half and rigged it on a weedless presentation.

Fished a club tournament on Lake Anna during the pouring rain and wind. The weather started poorly, improved slightly around noon, and worsened an hour before weigh-in with a line of severe thunderstorms. I actually got off the water as the storms approached, leaving more than an hour of fishing time on the lake. But, I have had too many close encounters with lightening, and I no longer take chances with it. I caught bass through out the day, but I lost four good fish that would have really helped my weight. Unfortunately, I tried to horse them in, as my 82-year old co-angler had trouble with the net. I would up with a small limit of largemouth, most of whom I caught off of stumps or submerged grassbeds. But, it was still a great day on the water!

Rig your Senko weightless and be sure to make the rig to where the top part of the hook is concealed in the Senko so it does not hang up in the grass. Fish were all on the inside edge of the hay grass and hydrilla. Dead stick it once you get to the inside edge of the grass. If the perch are not driving you crazy you are in the wrong spot.

Found the best fish while flipping pond weed near the bushes. Use a blood knot to tie your 30 lb fluoro to your braid. All you need is about a foot or 2 of the fluoro.

The spotties are finally moving up to spawn. Dropping a wacky rig with a Yamamoto Sexy Shad Senko right on the shoreline and slow twitching it back was money! I had a 1/16th oz nail weight at the top just to get the right tilt on the Senko. Caught a few on the 6th Sense Provoke as well....but it was wacky rig day at Bullards! And that Lew's Custom Pro is an amazing reel!!!!

Practiced for a tournament to be held on April 26 and found a few spawning bass on stumps in main lake pockets. I caught several nice bass, like the 4lber pictured, on a variety of soft plastics, including a weightless Yum Dinger and a lightly weighted Strike King Rage Bug. I also caught a few on Neko-rigged Zoom Trick Worm. The accuracy of casts was critical, as most bass did not want to leave the stumps to chase lures away.

Still getting Smallies on inline spinners. Though they have moved to deeper water after the cold front. I’m targeting boulders in 8-15 feet of water and dragging spinners past them. A few fish also hit the Megabass spark Shad. Though few and far between. I live close to the lake, and fish the shore quite often. If your a shore guy. Give me a follow. I’m always reporting hot baits. Tight lines y’all! Spaceman Bass Addicts PNW on FB

Didn't use a senko, was using earthworms on a panfish hook about 6 feet under a bobber. Was not expecting a bass at all.

Shad spawn was happening and about every seawall had bait pushed up with the bass feeding up shallow. The shad spawn bite was prolonged due to low-light conditions. Once the sun popped out, A jig/ Neko were the ultimate players to pick up quality spots/ largemouth from brush and docks.

The bass are starting to get on beds. The key was getting in behind the curly pond weed, which was easier said than done. I was able to catch a few on a frog, but the most consistent pattern was finding the areas where the grass wasn't as thick or topped out and running a buzzbait over it. I really like the Dirty Jigs buzzbait, but put a Picasso gold blade on it.

The lake has a number of patterns running, but tournament winning bags are being achieved chasing the herring over some other techniques. The fish are beginning their transitions off. There is a good morning bite on points. Up river the fish seem to be a little farther along in their transition then south.
