The bass spawn was on over Memorial Day weekend with the bigger fish related to the shallow spawning flats on inside weed edges close to gravel, rocks, and boulders. The bigger fish came on a wacky senko on green pumpkin with red flake and got several also on the green fish swim jig in a bluegill imitation and a Keitech 4 inch bluegill flash trailer. Several smaller fish were caught on a wake bait and also whopper plopper70 in bone.

Patience was the key, that and long accurate cast to bedded fish. Let the worm sink all the way and sit then a slight wiggle if no bite reel up and cast to the next spot

LMB are in dead of spawn. Go slow and let them soak. Find any hard structure to find the beds, docks, lay downs, hard bottom spots.
