I caught a total of 10 largemouth and hooked up on 2 Muskie casting that OG Tiny made by Rapala. All fish were caught in 4’-6’ of water. The water was muddy, but not chocolate milk.

Crank the main lake points. I found several large bass on each point. Some of them were on the very tip and others slightly farther back. With the spring waters being slightly stained, make sure you use the red or orange/red crankbaits. I found them from 3' to 9' depending on the point

Smallmouth BassTechniqueHard JerkbaitsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureRock PileA handful of smallmouth caught on jerkbaits. White and white and green were the colors of preference.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueMedium Diving Crankbaits (7'-12')SeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructurePointsSpent a couple of hours on the local pond hitting some of my normal spots. Due to me not charging my cranking battery, I was limited to just the trolling motor, but that didn't stop me. All but one fish was caught cranking rocky points. The fish really seemed to be short-striking, so relying on a St. Croix glass cranking rod was crucial to keeping fish pinned. Stopping and starting the plug was imperative to drawing strikes. The weight could have been better, but with some more time and mobility, the size would have definitely been better.
