Weather was cold, cloudy, windy and rain showers the 2 days I was there. Fish were caught on buzzbait, spinnerbait and jig. All fish were caught in 4' of water or less. The last fish that bumped me up was caught at Canton Lake near Canton Illinois. That fish was caught on a jig near a laydown just before I was about to give up for the day.”

Kyle MyersBronze AmbassadorSpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Pitch/Flip)SeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureLaydownsTargeting laydowns and grass were producing great bites. I Texas rigged a Googan Baits 10" Mondo worm black/Blue and also used a 4" Googan Bandito bug in Sprayed Lettuce. They were really wanting some a lot of movement. I was pretty much swimming the Bandito bug through the grass.
