Largemouth BassTechniqueDrop ShotSeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureBouldersOnly caught 2 but decent size (especially for Bartlett). Did not see any bait or much fish activity at all. The inconsistent weather seems to have scatter the fish a bit.

Rain and cold. Temp fell to 57 degrees. Tried my new Krej in blue vapor in 15-10 ft at entrances to coves and main lake points. Nothing on beds. Worked it like a jerkbait mad let it fall for3-5 seconds. Caught several. I’m a fan of the Krej! Also caught a few on the roboworm 6” in morning dawn with a 1/4 oz tungsten weight and size 1 owner hook. 10-15 ft. Once it warms up they should move up on the beds.

Cold morning. Snowed a little on us. Zero reaction bite. Tried a z man Ned rig in green pumpkin and finally caught a few. 15ft deep and fished slow. Might be starting of pre spawn?
