Largemouth BassTechniqueSoft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium)SeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureSubmerged VegetationFished the Hobie Bass Open Series on Broken Bow. Water level was high and much brush was flooded. Was able to catch smallies and largies around flooded brush and primary points on small swimbaits and around drop offs near flats or bluff walls. Fish moved out deeper as day warmed up onto underwater humps

Fished Broken Bow today … At daylight water temp 58 fish were staging on points next to drop offs by early afternoon water warm to 65 and I caught bass moving up into shallow water with brush and stumps 3-5 foot was flipping a Berkley Flatworm later in the day catching bass preparing for the spawn…. It’s all about weather conditions and water temps in the Spring. Good Luck and go fishing it’s time to get out there

Points with small gravel with a few large isolated rocks was key. Crank Bait had to stay in contact with bottom. Once I got crank bait on bottom I slowed the bait down. Main Lake points or points in the mouth of pockets held better fish. Best 3 fish was a 4.12, 3.76, 3.53 Each fish came off a single large rock Crank Bait red in color with a orange belly worked best

Fish a jerkbait with long pauses (8-10ct) and an A-Rig along main lake points and ledges. The spotted bass are suspending in the main lake areas and move up in the water column later in the day as the water moves up. The smallmouth are also staging on gravel flats and humps and will be mixed in with your catch.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueSoft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium)SeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructurePointsI finished fishing the Hobie Bass Open Series Tournament on Broken Bow this past weekend. The lake temps were upper 40s to mid 50s by the end of the day with stained to muddy water in most areas. Fish were staged on small points and bluff walls, as well as suspended on timber. I was able to catch fish on points using small swimbaits and chatterbaits, as well as bluff walls and rockpiles using a ned rig. Look for bass to be moving up shallow as water temps start warming up this month.
