Caught numbers on a ned rig but bigger fish were caught on the football jig. Main bait was the Strike King Ned Ocho in morning dawn and it also produced this bonus 26" walleye.

The weed are not to well grown yet so the deep docks have been the bast bet. Some fish were found on points but they were not as big as the ones found on the deep docks
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueNed RigsSeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureHumpsTough day. Lots of fish but ZERO quality. Curly Pond weed was thick but bass don’t use that garbage weed. I did get to try out the new Shimano Mastif 12lb and man is that line impressive. It lays nice on the spoon, ties great knots and casts like a dream and durable. I was throwing a DT8 and ripping it through some grass to trigger a couple of bites. I also tried out the new Mustad Alpha point finesse hook. Rigged up a 5” General on the 3/0 alpha and stuck a few with ease. The hook help up, the point stayed sharp, didn’t bend out and the plastic keeper help the plastic in place for multiple fish.
