Largemouth BassTechniqueWacky RigsSeasonSummerStructureSubmerged VegetationFind big drops of 15 to 20 feet. There are minimal cribs and pallets down there. Also, work the weed lines. There are walleyes but not many. Fish wacky worms and drop shots. It's a good ice fishing lake.

Lots of sunken structure on this lake. Fishing the structure for staging females near shallow water is a great way to catch them on Bass Lake during the prespawn/spawn timeframe.

Fish have started pulling to the shore in the flats. Lots of great cover in the two shallow bays big fish mixed in the reeds where there is hard bottom. Wackyshot was a fun new bait to mess with. Found some pre-spawn fish in 8 to 12 feet as well.

Report is for May 5th. Weather was variable with light winds, kind of on and off sprinkles and partly sunny. Found bucks up in the warmest water, but no larger females. Headed out a bit deeper near some weeds and found some better fish in the 12 to 15 inch range, but not larger fish found this day. Overall about 10 small fish on a 5inch floating rapala minnow and then about 10 larger fish on a Jackhammer in Bhite Delight, they were definitely keying on sunfish. It was fast and furious on the jackhammer after I headed out a little deeper. Seemed like for the females it was still prespawn.

Teckel Lure Bladewaker (Pearl White) with Green Pumpkin Yamamoto Zako was ticket to triggering bites off the shorelines and weed lines. Work the chatter bait slow around weeds and vegetation.

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.

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.
