SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueBladed JigsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureRock PileHit the water about 6am today. Water temps started out around 47-49 everywhere I went. Struggled to locate a substantial amount of fish at first. Later on in the day we managed to find some relating to shallow rock after water temps rose up to about 52-53 degrees. Moving baits such as crank baits, chatterbaits, and spinnerbaits seemed to get them to bite.

Fish were biting and aggressive despite the recent cold front. If you could find a school it wasn’t uncommon to get a bite every cast for several casts in a row. Key areas were vegetation and pinch points in 3-4’ of water.

Largemouth are the most abundant species on this lake and come in big sizes because of the 18" size limit. I had a recent guide trip and we managed to catch several big largemouth bass 18-20" using swim jigs, chatterbates and spinnerbaits. Also dark colored flipping jigs.

Slow rolled with occasional short hops worked best.
