    This was an amazing outing! Fished about 3.5 hours this afternoon/evening. This outing was for April 16, 2026. The air temp was warm, close to 80 degrees and windy out of the south. Water temps were in the high 50's up to 61.5 in spawning areas. Bass were up shallow and the fatties were feeding! I caught about 16 bass, my buddy caught around 8. It was on! This was our double, but my buddy caught his PB at 5.4lb, and we had another couple around there. I was throwing a 3/8 oz jig on straight braid to help with the feel as it was so windy. It helped for sure!

    Found fish in weeds in 8-11' of water. Many bluegills spawning, smaller gills out in weeds and likely why bass were there. Bass looked healthy so guessing already spawned? Water temps have been all over so not sure on the bass spawn this year.

    Lots of little ones kept the kids busy all day. Bass and massive bluegill were crushing black and blue senko. Deadstick
