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.
