Largemouth BassTechniqueSwim JigsSeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureRip RapThe fish were right on the bank. I am talking in inches of water. I had to fish parallel to the bank in order to get a strike. But it was a good day.

Water temperatures were up, and the bass were hard to find. I targeted rocks and was able to catch a surprisingly good limit. The KVD square bill was the ticket. It was able to get through rocks and any wood near the area. Deflecting the 1.5 off structure was the key to generating bites. The saugeye and catfish were also eating the 1.5 well

Water visibility was about 14". Many of the bass were just coming off the nest. They were in a feeding frenzy. If you got the spinner bait near them, they crushed it. Maybe even guarding fry.

To get through the rocks better, use the TRD football heads. Toss up close to the bank and drag it back. Make sure you keep contact with the bottom and hold on

Fished a benefit open for The Ohio State Bass Fishing team on Buckeye lake this past Saturday. Water was stained and warm. 63 at take off 68 at weigh in. Sunny and 57 at take off, pushing 80 at weigh-in. Managed 3 keepers for 4.19lbs. They hit jackhammers and spinner baits for us early on rock around docks in canals. 1st place was 15 and some change, 2nd-5th we’re all between 10-11 lbs. Apparently we missed the bite somewhere, lol. Still had fun day on water for a good cause.
