Smallmouth BassTechniqueHard JerkbaitsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureReefThe key was finding rock ledges. The hard rock ledges transitioning into more scattered rock is where i found success. The jerkbait was straight up getting bit.6-10 feet of water was the best depth for me

SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueGrass JigsSeasonSummerStructureSubmerged VegetationJigs and Texas rigs around inside weed edges was the deal for 18lbs and solid top 3 finish. Wanted the shallow bite to work, but the numbers and size were already on weedlines. Bluegill beds were a bonus when you found them on 360 on weed edges

Windy and cold! Lake was behind as far as weed growth and the fish were in the spawn funk. Caught a bunch of dinks and a few 15 inchers

Burning a blade over rock bars turned our best fish. Needed to trigger a reaction bite in the afternoon. The higher the sun was the better the bite got. Saw plenty of fish but most were negative even when pitching smaller baits at them.
