SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueBladed JigsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureBouldersWater temps upper 50s approaching 60s, bass are getting close to thinking about spawning. Target boulders and banks and points leading into spawning areas. Cover windy areas with chatterbaits, slow down with jigs and plastics around targets and calmer areas. Swimbaits also producing quality bites

Water temp in the low 70s, burning a bladed jig and swim jig on the inside weedlines of the curly leaf pondweed around the southern end of the lake.

Fish were up roaming and looking to spawn. Saw several fish on beds, but nothing locked on. Flipping docks and lay downs produced most of the better fish. Picked up a few on points and weedlines, but never found a place where they were really bunched up.

Great lake. Bite can be slow, but the payoffs are excellent.

Caught plenty of 2.5 pounders along with one over 5 and another just under 5. Bites came mostly on a swim jig and wacky rig in and around the shallow pond leaf.

Caught 18.7lbs of largies fishing the inside weedlines of the curly leaf pondweed with a variety of techniques such as a swim jig and 4in stickbait. Finding clear water was very key as there were more gills in these areas.

Found some bass around pondweed and rock transitions and did well around spawning bluegill. Threw a chatterbait when it was windy and cloudy and slowed down with a Texas rig when it was calm. Caught a lot of fish and sever big one. Water was very clear, 5ft visibility in some places.
