Was able to find some pretty good fish on rip rap despite the super dirty, low water conditions. The water was still pretty cold, so they weren’t eating it very well, mainly getting the back hook, but I was happy I could get a reaction bite. First bass of 2025 was a 4lber so hopefully that’s a good sign!

The pre-spawn bite is on! The fish have made their way shallow to the warmer water and are holding to rocks and underwater cover that retains warmth. Fish were actively chasing crankbaits. Finesse fishing did not yield any results. The bite will continue to get better as the weather warms up.
