Largemouth BassTechniqueShakey HeadsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureBrush PilesHad a small bite window, sacked up a mixed bag (spots and largemouth) of about 17lbs. Biggest largemouth went right under 6 and best spot was 3.8. Bottom contact baits were key.

Points are the hot ticket as they're slowly making their way into spawning flats around the vineyards and in the mouth of the narrows. They're pretty aggressive and it'll probably break open in the next few weeks.
