Spotted BassTechniqueSoft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium)SeasonWinterStructureHumpsBig spots have moved to run with the strippers in water between 40-50 feet deep, suspended at about 30 feet. Definitely a hard bite to find but where you can find a school of striped the spots are not far behind.

Focus on river channels that have a good amount of chunk rock. You can keep about 25’-30’ off the bank or you can work the bank parallel. Key to working the small swimbait is making sure that it ticks the rocks on the bottom. Few other baits that you can use to catch them right now is a jig, shaky head as well as a Lip Thrashin Lures “lil nasty” tailspin. The tailspin can be worked around dock slips or deeper water areas where the bait is roaming. This has been a great bait for this time of year at multiple lakes. Water clarity has been around 3’-4’ in the main lake area and with recent rain the creeks have been a little bit stained.
- SpeciesSpotted BassTechniqueShallow Diving Crankbaits (0-6')SeasonWinterStructureRip Rap
We have had a good amount of rain so the water color is pretty muddy around mid lake. I have been focusing on longer creek arms. Fish seem to start biting around half way in. Focus on areas with good rocks around the bank as well as lay downs. Seem to have better luck on the sunny banks. I have been staying around the 8’ or less areas. Water temp - 50°-52° Water clarity - less than 10” Wind - 10mph

Early mornings find rip rap, boulders etc and cast along the banks for the first 2 or 3 hours of morning. Fishing will be hot.
- SpeciesSpotted BassTechniqueHard Topwater (Popping)SeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureLaydowns
Love the whopper plopper early morning and mid day. Go to the “loon” color dusk and night. You can sight fish now just watch for action on top of water
- SpeciesSpotted BassTechniqueSoft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium)SeasonFallStructurePoints
Rocky or big rip rap points work well Work slowly parallel to rocky point up in the creeks
- SpeciesSpotted BassTechniqueDrop ShotSeasonWinterStructureHumps
Drop shot with an 12”/18” leader. Any minnow imitation lure will work. Colors vary on sun/cloudy days and stained water or not
- SpeciesSpotted BassTechniqueHard JerkbaitsSeasonSummerStructureHumps
Deep water main lake humps, look for bass busting top water or schools / large bait balls. Hot action when you find them
