SpeciesSpotted BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Pitch/Flip)SeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureDocksFish were all three stages of the spawn, but the majority were post-spawn. This set up let me cover water and throw to any fish I saw cruising or on a bed. To be honest though they were eating almost anything you threw, top water, shaky heads, wacky worms. Now is a great time to go out and build some confidence in a technique.

They were off of the main lake docks on a drop shot and a gp jig casting on live scope to suspend fish. Fish were also on secondary points.

Fish all over points 10-15 ft of water. Very finicky eaters. The main thing I could catch them on is the shakey head trick worm. Could see them on livescope chasing 3 inch swimbaits. I fished the seneca river arm. Not a topwater bite to be found. Fished 8 hrs and only 1 time did I see fish busting bait.
