Largemouth BassTechniqueShallow Diving Crankbaits (0-6')SeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureBouldersSquarebill crankbaits are a great way to slow down you retrieve when cranking the bank. The extra wide wobble allows you to slowly crawl it along chunk rock. Start on the sunny side bank.

Team tournament. Cloudy to sunny/70°-90°. Fished hard for seven hours in Defeated creek. We only caught one keeper largemouth bass on a frog. 3 bass for 6 pounds won our derby. I say that's some tough fishing fora 15 boat tournament.

Smallmouth BassTechniqueShallow Diving Crankbaits (0-6')SeasonSummerStructurePointsThis river can be tough. There is little in the way of docks, bluffs and other easy targets. Instead, focus on the the island points and rip rap around road beds. I’ve had success with a square bill in both of those areas. As usual, in the morning, start with top water, either a popper or a plopper to stir them up. As the temp rises, start working deeper with cranks, jerks and jigs. During the hottest parts of the day, the fish may transition toward channel ledges but they will remain near the islands.

Caught a nice 5 bass limit of 14.25 pounds using a shaky head in 8-10 feet of water. No luck on the main river.
