The bass are starting to get on beds. The key was getting in behind the curly pond weed, which was easier said than done. I was able to catch a few on a frog, but the most consistent pattern was finding the areas where the grass wasn't as thick or topped out and running a buzzbait over it. I really like the Dirty Jigs buzzbait, but put a Picasso gold blade on it.

The lake is full of curly pond weed. We managed to find a few along the edges with senkos. I was also able to catch a few off shallow wood surrounded by these weeds with a frog. Nothing huge but a fun bite. Most fish appeared to still be prespawn.
