Largemouth BassTechniqueWacky RigsSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureReedsDuring the spawn you can see the Bass in the clear water. Make long casts with a weightless wacky rig or fish faster with a VMC weedless wacky jig. Let the bait sink on slack line. Check the reeds and Lilly pads in 6 to 10feet of water.

This lake has been filled with brush piles. Target them with your Chatterbaits in Perch or Sunfish colors. You can find fish over the top of the brush and by dropping and dragging along the sides of these piles.

CrappieTechniqueFinesse JigsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureLily PadsMy buddy and I caught 2 pike each. I caught 8 bass on a small spinner and a wacky rigged Senko. But we hammered the crappies. I caught close to 20, and John caught close to 40. They were pretty much all 9 to 12 inches in length. We used small chartreuse plastic jigs under a bobber in 4 feet of water. We found the warmest water on the lake, and that's where the crappies were. In the emerging lily pads.

Fish were sitting in the brush piles on the few points that Bass Lake has. Texas rig was the best way to drop down in them. Water was cold and very inactive fish. Slowly worked all cribs to find a few bites.

Fish early in the spring are hiding in the many cribs Bass Lake has off most all secondary points. Flipping a non pegged Texas rigged Rage Craw or Rage Bug produced several good strikes. Pop the bait through the cribs to find the largemouth.

Pitch a wacky worm in the weed openings.

They was 100’s of bass and Bluegill under the float vegetation. Hit the pockets with a wacky worm in 6 inches to 4 feet of water. Bigger fish will be pulling up soon when that warm breaks 55 degrees.
