SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueShallow Diving Crankbaits (0-6')SeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureStumpsI went out to the lake on 02/20/22 to practice for my upcoming bass champs tournament on Fork next weekend. The water temperature on the lake ranged from 49 to 54 degrees fahrenheit and the visibility ranged from 8 inches on the main lake to up to 2 feet in some of the protected pockets. It was partly cloudy for most of the day and the wind was blowing pretty strong out of the southwest, probably between 8 and 15 miles per hour all day. The outside air temperatures started off at around 40 degrees and got up to about 70 degrees later in the day. The lake was crowded with a mixture of local anglers, guys practicing for the bass champs event coming up like us, and the Major League Fishing Bass Pro Tour pro anglers as it was day 1 of competition for group B at the 2nd tour event of the year. We spent the day targeting bigger stumps in 2 to 8 feet of water in creek channel drains at the mouths of spawning pockets. Flipping these stumps with a jig and cranking them with a flat sided crankbait produced 7 bites for us throughout the day, all in the 2 to 3 pound class. It was a decent day on the lake, and it was cool to see some of the pros catch some fish on one of my favorite lakes!

Look for numbers holding in pockets with plenty of cover and warmer water. Bigger fish can be caught flipping and punching matted grass, or fishing 8-10 FOW transition areas.
