Largemouth BassTechniqueSoft JerkbaitsSeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureDocksWater was added to the lake last week, dropping the temps 4 degrees. Slowed the fish a little, less active than anticipated. Early morning frog bite, followed by a soft jerkbait bite around the docks & craywalls later

Water temp at 56 degrees, much colder than usual for November here. Sunny, clear day with 3-10 mph winds (increased as day progressed). Fish were very inactive, only bites were in middle to backs of cuts, 7-10 feet of water slow rolling the swimbait near the bottom.

A mix of fish on beds & fry guarding. Most were tight to the cray wall between docks and would not chase an inaccurate cast. The Zara Spook caught most of the fish, although the TRD caught most of the rest as well as a bonus of a pair of 15lb catfish.
- SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueHard JerkbaitsSeasonWinterStructureDocks
Still a very sluggish bite. All strikes were on the pause of the jerkbait. Fish weren't at or under the docks, rather they were suspended out in front of the docks (sunning themselves?). Water is colder at this point in time than it has been for years.
- SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueBlade BaitsSeasonWinterStructureOpen Water/Basin
Water temps continue to drop, fish were sluggish & deep in the main lake. Not relating to any obvious cover or bottom structure but were grouped up. One bite would lead to multiple bites, but it took time to get that first bite.

Spawn is in full gear. Avoided bed fish, looked for fish just moving up, under docks, not locked onto beds. Fish on beds were caught with a Rebel Pop-R or a shakeyhead.
- SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueSoft JerkbaitsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureDocks
Even with a midweek storm, the water temp stayed near 60 degrees and the bass stayed shallow. Most of the females were still under docks, waiting for the males to make beds (only saw 5 or 6 beds). Rigged the Senko like a soft jerkbait (weightless) so it would glide down as opposed to just fall

Recent rains raised lake level and washed worms & insects into the lake. All fish caught at greenbelt areas that had drainage into the lake. Fish were in 4 - 8 feet of water, not chasing, but eating what had washed in.
