The fish are just now heading to the beds. This is your best time to catch one of those Jocassee Giants on you're favorite bed fish techniques. Wacky rig or neko rigs can get the job done and it's gonna take a good 20+lb bag on tournament days for the next few weeks. Remember, the spotted bass and smallmouth will bed deeper than the largemouth so keep your eyes peeled when looking for beds.
