Fish are moving up to spawn and some already spawning. Key areas are backs of creeks on the flooded brush lines. Cover water u till you catch one then slow down.

Went up the Rio Grande river with my spinnerbait and caught a limit in my first FLW Costa tournament. Lake Amistad has the clearest water you will find. The bass were warming up around large boulders and attacking the spinnerbait. Using a swimbait trailer and silver blades for the clear water. I was reeling in very slowly over boulders. Check out the video of the spinnerbait in action.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueUmbrella RigsSeasonWinterStructurePointsThe Alabama Rig works on Lake Amistad when the fish are suspended. Count the A-rig down and run it just above the depth the fish are suspending. In December I found the suspending at 20 feet in 40-80 foot deep areas around points and bluff walls. A slow steady retrieve momentary pauses will trigger bites. Keitech swimbaits are the standard for the Alabama rig. 1/8 oz Squadron heads are good hooks to use with this setup. Check out the video of me catching some on the Alabama rig in winter time on Lake Amistad.
