Spawning season and the algae are slowly coming back due to the sunlight. The chatter bait was the perfect bait to float above the submerged plants and this 4lber came and smashed it

High tide 1 stumbled upon some submerged vegetation and I rolled this megabass swim jig over it and a 5lb bass came up and smacked it! Fishing the delta can be tricky but you never know.
