This is my second trip to Lake Hickory. Wow this lake is all over the place. Duke energy has lowered the water level, plus the storms, and cold snap. Largemouth spawn is over and spotted bass is starting. You will see the fish on your finder suspended 7-15ft or on beds and skittish, and they want NOTHING to do with whatever you throw. List of things that didn't work; Jerk, crankbait, drop shot, wacky worm, Ned rig, swim jig, finesse jig, blades jigs, whopper poppers, craws, senkos, mites,...etc. hopefully when Duke energy stops messing with the water level and spawn is a little further along the spots will be biting. I had one on Ned, 8in of water and I threw a Shakey head, the tail was slapping him in the face and NO BITE ugh. Visibility is 1-3ft, generally calm water. The one I caught today was first cast right next to launch. I was using the reaction tackle Shakey head hook, which I love.

Great bass under the docks this week. Some in the brush along the banks on the south side.
