Randleman Lake (NC)

Lucky reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Shakey Heads technique and Yamamoto 5" Senko Worm on Randleman Lake. Additional comments from this report: "This is a fun lake when the temperature starts to come up. I know Shakey head is my absolute go to and everyone is tired of hearing it, but it is always working. I found something mean along the way, snapped my braided line TWICE!!! My go-to spinner bait also did plenty today but unfortunately I didn't set deep enough and lost them trying to get them in the kayak. Be careful as you start to push into shore, there is about 10-15ft of rocks submerged. The areas that you can see tree tops are deep, roughly 45-70ft. I will say they didn't want to bite until the water temp got closer to 60. "

Lake Hickory (NC)

Lucky reported catching Spotted Bass using the Shakey Heads technique and Zoom Finesse Worm on Lake Hickory. Additional comments from this report: "This is my second trip to Lake Hickory. Wow this lake is all over the place. Duke energy has lowered the water level, plus the storms, and cold snap. Largemouth spawn is over and spotted bass is starting. You will see the fish on your finder suspended 7-15ft or on beds and skittish, and they want NOTHING to do with whatever you throw. List of things that didn't work; Jerk, crankbait, drop shot, wacky worm, Ned rig, swim jig, finesse jig, blades jigs, whopper poppers, craws, senkos, mites,...etc. hopefully when Duke energy stops messing with the water level and spawn is a little further along the spots will be biting. I had one on Ned, 8in of water and I threw a Shakey head, the tail was slapping him in the face and NO BITE ugh. Visibility is 1-3ft, generally calm water. The one I caught today was first cast right next to launch. I was using the reaction tackle Shakey head hook, which I love."
