Additional comments from this report: "Skipped senkos around docks to put a pretty good limit together for Anglers Choice.

The lake will be getting good soon if Mother Nature will work with us! "

Phelptwan reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Wacky Rigs technique and Shimano Vanford Spinning Reel on Kalamazoo Lake. Additional comments from this report: "Water had cooled down a lot due to weather and was about 72°F when we went out and cooled down to about 68°F by the time we got off the water. Wind was pretty nuts anywhere from 15-20mph for most of the night. I'll be honest, coangler and I really sucked tonight and should have had 5 good keepers but ended up with two. He had a huge smallie slip a ned and I popped two big large mouths off on the wacky rig. I put one 1.5lb in the boat early on a rat-l-trap, and then caught a few small ones on a trap. I had a number of other small ones on the wacky and a big pike on a spinner. Put one more in the boat around 9:00 on a wacky. Overall it seemed the bass were holding to the scum/weed lines and targeting the pockets in the grass was where I got most of the bites. Bits usually came right as I popped the bait out of the grass. To be brutally honest though, we spent most of the night fighting the current and the wind. It was hard to stay on any points and it ended with us spending most of our time fishing the areas out of the wind trying to find a bit of cover. "

Several smaller fish were caught on a wake bait and also whopper plopper70 in bone. "

Brandon Garrett reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Wacky Rigs technique and Daiwa Fuego LT Spinning Reel - EOL on Clearwater Lake. Additional comments from this report: "With bluebird skies, and water temps in the mid 60's on Sunday 5/21, there were pairs of bass on beds, and others cruising around the flats and ledges, from 1.5' to 7' of water. I caught my limit of bass and a few culls on a chatterbait over flats and ledges. I topped out with only a 17.5" 3.4lb bass with the chatterbait. But I caught a few off beds, with neko and wacky rigged senkos. And, the tournament winners confirmed the better bedding fish were biting a wacky senko if you patiently waited for them to respond while sight fishing those beds."
