Largemouth BassTechniqueHard JerkbaitsSeasonSummerStructureHumpsIt was flat calm early, but once the wind picked up that’s when the jerkbait bite became evident and they stacked up near a submerged hump in 5-12’. Before that, I picked up a few scattered fish on slow moving bottom baits (drop shot and jig) in 12-14’

Hot bite oh off any rocky shore with bigger boulders. Bass corralling shad schools. Megabass 110 jr +1 we’re killing them. Any color seemed to work. Later when they went down, 5” Yamamoto Senko, especially in green pumpkin worked. Wacky rig or Texas rig worked. 10-15 ft deep. Great fishing right now

Only found a few in ~12’. The lake has come up 22’ in the last month and there is a lot of boat activity. It is hard to say where the bass are in the spawn but the ones I caught will still fat and did not have bloody tails so assuming still pre-spawn
