Largemouth BassTechniqueHard JerkbaitsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureSubmerged VegetationThe bite is on for all species. Due to 45 mph wind gusts we were unable to leave the bay but we found fish. The smallmouth are still out deep (probably on main lake rock piles), but the largemouth were plentiful. 7-10 feet deep you could see them swimming in and out of the grass on Livescope. Big white bass had moved up shallower on the flats (getting ready to spawn), and the pike were scattered throughout. The big largemouth are present if you can find them. I threw a variety of jerkbaits but the Rapala shadow rap deep worked the best. It has a slightly faster fall rate that was triggering reaction bites the second you’d pause the bait.

The SDBF High School State Championship went well. My boys won the event throwing jerkbaits on main lake points. The key of the day was to have a solid rotation. There were 3 points holding quality fish, and the schools would get active for 15 - 25 casts and shut off. Each pass the boys would catch one 3 - 4 lbs and go to the next point.

Air temp mid 70s, water temp low 70s/high 70s. Caught a lot of numbers fishing sand to rock transitions in 4-8ftow as well as isolated boulders, some smallmouth were also on bed. Caught the majority of fish on a ned but also mixed in a tube and small paddletail.
SpeciesSmallmouth BassTechniqueDrop ShotSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureBouldersFish were cruising around in pairs just about to start spawning while others were already spawning. Bigger ones tend to be cruising along rock and weed transition by themselves. As long as you put this drop shot in front of them, either they bit instantly or just shake in place and then a bite would follow
SpeciesSmallmouth BassTechniqueTubesSeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureRock PileWater temp mid 70s, super fun bite cracking a siren colored tube very aggressively on rock piles and weed edges in the 12-20ft zone, when I marked smallmouth directly underneath me I would drop a little swimbait on their head and video game em with 2d sonar.
