Largemouth BassTechniqueStructure JigsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureOpen Water/BasinFishing report is for 4/29/2023. Water was very cold saw tenos from about 44 in obvious spawning grounds to 41.9 on the main lake. Weather was windy with on and off sprinkles. Air temps in the upper 40s. Overall tough day and new lake for me. Finally found the one I caught deeper than expected. It was in deep water near the spawning areas in 16 feet of water. Had a couple more its in the same area, but seemed very light. I had mostly been trying shallower depths most of the day. Overall good first outing for the year!

Had a great night on Deer Lake in Wisconsin today. Started with a Rapala Maverick Jerk bait on 10 pound Shimano Mastiff Fc Fluorocarbon. Had to pause it for a Long time. Literally wait almost a minute between moves. Then we found some using need rigs in the same area just along the inside weed edges. My son got a 3 pounder under a dock and that was the only dock fish. Found the fish in the far south east side of the lake and in the center north end. Good luck the water is really clear.

The bass will hang around the lily pads all summer and near docks. Throw a frog around the lily pads pausing it every so often in pockets between the pads for the bass to have a good chance to eat it.-Preston M

Using side imaging and finding hard spots and rock in the 5-10ft zone adjacent to spawning areas. The big prespawners were loaded in these areas, I got the biggest bites on a finnesse football jig and also mixed in a tube and ned.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueNed RigsSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureSubmerged VegetationThis lake produces numbers not size. I caught 107 bass with only 1 over 14". Both Ned Rig and drop shot produced fish. Worked the inner weed edge which varies from 3'-6'. The water is quite clear on this lake so right now it is fairly easy to see the weed line.

Water temp in the low 60s with air temps around the same. Hammered good numbers of fish with a 110 jr scanning for hard spots along inside weedlines, lots of the better largemouth are keying in on the bluegills that are pulling up to these hard spots to spawn. Also caught some fish cracking a shorty tube on these spots after I worked them throughly with the jerkbait.
