Largemouth BassTechniqueHard Topwater (Walking)SeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructurePointsThe topwater bite on Clark’s Hill continues. We are seeing fish active on points with a few select fish showing up on humps. Cover water and make adjustments with weather conditions as the day progresses.

Points and patience. Lots of twitching and pausing. Lots of follows. Stick with it, and they’ll eat. Water has cooled a little bit, morning bite is crucial to jump on them, then patiently work on upgrades.

Early in the morning fish can be caught up the creek arms in the grass on a hollow belly frog. These fish can be caught all day, but the better fish are being caught down the lake on long points throwing a C-Rig. Take your time and work these points good. You can catch multiple fish of of one spot.

Fish are moving into pre-summer pattern but are still on points and humps. The 90 boat field as a whole, struggled. There are still fish chasing herring, but it's hit and miss and I think the warm up has finally done enough to start moving the fish off. I caught fish on a crankbait, a fluke, and a spook, in that order.

I tried a different pattern on day 2 to try and catch a bigger bag. I came up a little short, but the largemouth are definitely relating to wood in the high skies. The wind didn't pick up until mid afternoon, and the skies were clear most of the day.

We targeted main lake points to catch a LOT of fish. Unfortunately, we never got the big bite we needed. As long as there was a slight breeze going, we could get bit easily. Day was mostly overcast and 2-5 mph winds.

It's been a werid spring. Water temps were 68-69 degrees on the main lake. Herring weren't pushed all the way up on the points, but the bass were in in 2-5 feet of water ambushing the swimbait bite. Wind was brutal, but the bite was worth it. Once the rain started around 1, the wind died down to be just right and the bite got even better.
