5/20/2021, twitching a plopper over submerged grass patches. Landed 2 largemouths, both around 4lbs.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Pitch/Flip)SeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureStumpsI took my sister out to get her on her first big fish, and the fish are starting to spawn. There are lots of fish on shallow flats that are spawning on the edges of grass and any hard structure they can find like stumps. The slightly larger fish are in 8-15 ft of water spawning with the exception of a few nice smallmouth spawning on some shallow rocks. It didn't take much to get the deeper ones to bite, but they're definitely hard to see unless its glass calm. - To help see your bait, I was dipping my whole pearl colored hotshot minnow in some dip and glow so really help my bait pop so I could see it better, it really made it pop! Shorten up your dropshot leader length to where the bait will be sitting right in the fishes face. And if the dropshot presentation isn't enticing a bite, switch to a small swimbait like the stealth invader on your dropshot hook. The fish presentation should get that bed fish mad.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueSoft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium)SeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureLedgesWith the rapid rising water temps the spawn is happening, there is a mixture of smaller males and larger females roaming the shallows, the larger bass seem to be holding off the flats, but ready to move up any time. Baitfish are suspended above isolated weed patches and offer up food and cover for the Bass, so don't pass up those areas, they are worth checking out. Lots of followers on the livescope with no commitment.

5/16/21 Blue skies with broken clouds, light wind with water temps in the high 50s still, fished deeper with jerkbaits, swimbaits and gliders which produced some smaller fish. With the 12-15 foot water clarity, you could see the bass starting to bed up, but I leave them be. Pulled a lot of smaller bass fishing docks, definitely a good time doing that. Not uncommon to come across large schools of massive crappie right now, so bring your ultralight too! Buy all the Omnia gear, that's the real secret!

5.9.22 Water temps still around 46*F but fish are actively feeding and chasing. They were displaying signs of being territorial on the livescope, chasing the bait for a distance and returning to the same areas... kinda leading me to believe that the spawn will be happening soon. Low and slow, most of the fish in deeper waters (20-ish) were suspended 1-2ft off the bottom, same with the shallower bass they were just above the weeds cruising. Tried jerks, Tubes, and a little drop shot, but they weren't having any of that. Ended up with 16 Bass both green and brown and a ton of pike. Don't waste your time on those real deep marks (30+), unless you want to catch pike all day.

Water temps around 75 degrees Large and small mouth bass are moving in off the ledges to attack the blue gill beds. Surprising enough the blue gills are still bedding, you can catch nice size bass with a swim jig also
