Largemouth BassTechniqueShallow Diving Crankbaits (0-6')SeasonSpring (Spawn)StructurePilingsDuring Early Spawn and Spawn, some of the best spots to fish are the bridge piling on the corner where the rock point meets the bridge. Throwing a sexy shad square bill and texas rig worms (view recommended products) through the bridge pilings early in the morning will always get you bit during this time of year.

The sun was very high when I was fishing in the summer. Water was just getting to the mid 80’s. I fished a couple night tournaments and did really well with 5 fish going 4.2lbs. Remember Joe Pool is a slot lake and your fish have to be under 14” or over 21”. I cranked down many banks but the best ones were ones not directly facing the wind and ones that had chunky rock.
