I caught most of my fish skipping jigs under docks finding the largemouth staged under docks in super shallow water.

Fish are currently in all stages of the spawn. Fish that are in pre spawn feeding patterns are holding under and around docks close to prime spawning. Skipping a worm under those docks gets a lot of quality bites.

Cold strong north wind made fishing tough but largemouth could be caught on flats in 3-5' on tubes.

I fished Cayuga for the Slay Nation civil war tournament. I finished 7th out of 55 anglers. I caught almost all my fish on a chatterbait I just fished shallow submerged grass where I believe the largemouth were spawning in the shallow dirty water.

Caught some slobs to put up a good bag in a kayak tourney. Put up almost 100” (around 24-25lbs) including big bass (7lbs). Was on fish all day yo yo-ing a lipless or working a jackhammer around new hydrilla. Caught over 20 fish throughout the day. Place was on fire!

Majority of the fish on the day were caught on docks using a Ned rig. As the day went on with no luck with the chatter bait, I switched to the Berkley Stunna and the big girls bit.
