Largemouth BassTechniqueDrop ShotSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructurePointsWater temp was 63 degrees, a lot of smaller bass are up shallow cruising but not actively feeding. Was able to find some active bass on deeper water just adjacent to a small flat in 8-10 fow in scattered grass. Was able to drag a drop shot through the cover and get a few bites. I think the colder temps pushed the fish back from getting on beds. I was also able to find some fish on deeper dock post. Fist time using bait fuel and had two different drop shots tied up one with it added to the flat worm and one with not.. bait fuel flat worm out produced the regular flat worm (both were same color)

Color the chin of the spook chartreuse. Find grass lines in about 10-15ft. Walk it slow with an occasional few quick twitches. Works best at sunrise and sunset.
