Decent day on the water. Caught around 15 bass largest was 7.51lbs caught on the Jackall Flick Shake worm. Most of the bass were in 3-6 feet of water and was able to pick them up on top water, keitech and spy bait. With the exception of the 7lber most of the bass were in the 12-14 inch range.

Went in the afternoon for a few hours after work. Thought the fish were moving up to Spawn but they were not moving up. No fish were caught in less than 8 foot of water. Caught about 8 or 9 smaller bass on the Senko. Not a lot of action I did see one bed, but no fish on it. Water clarity was about 6-8 feet.

Picked up 15 or so 10-12 inch bass on the jerk bait and a senko. The small guys were biting. I seen no bass in the shallows looking for spawning areas even though the water temperature was right on. We had a major front with a cool down coming that night. Probably had an effect on the big fish moving up.
