Cloudy overcast day with a nice breeze for once. Today I fished lake LBJ. It was pretty slow but I picked up a few here and there. I mostly fished the docks. Skipping a frog under the docks you can. I found most of my fish on deeper docks meaning 5 to 10 feet. Lots of bites and blow ups on the spook. I fished the rage bug around the grass and docks when the wind picked up.

Topwater bite slowed down unless you found shade as the sun got high. Caught spinnerbait fish on a few windy banks and when we slowed down I threw a rage bug on rock piles and around grass. Fish came from 0 to 15’ deep. Rods by Irod fishing!
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Pitch/Flip)SeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureDocksThe senko works everywhere year round. This bait especially works well on Lake LBJ. Flip a senko into any dock and the chances are you will get bit. I prefer a green pumpkin color with flake in it. Find brush pile on Lake LBJ at the back of boat docks. Check out the video of the Texas rigged senko finishing off a limit for a W on Lake LBJ.

Throwing a spinnerbait in the river sections of Lake LBJ can produce big bass. When the dam is open spinnerbaits work around piling and retaining walls where there are current breaks. A swimbait trailer has gotten me bites when using this bait. Gold blades for murky water and silver blades for clear water is a good rule of thumb for spinnerbaits. The spinnerbait is good selection for a moving bait option when the bass are chasing shad. Check out the video of a 7LB bass smoking my spinnerbait first cast of the morning in a Media Bass tournament.

The fishing is getting tougher but keeping your bait in the water and finding active fish is key! This is the best bait in my opinion for that

Not any big ones but caught a lot of fish up shallow on bream beds or as fry guarders. Sometimes it’s just as fun catching numbers as it is catching the big ones.

Chilly morning with little wind today. Top water early but didn’t last long. Found some nice fish with a DD22 bumblebee crank. I was Throwing Irods Quercus 7’10” wild card deep Crankin rod with an Abu Garcia revo winch 5.4:1 and 12# Kastling Kovert Xtreme line. Skipping docks with sencos also produced some fish today as the sun got higher. No cloud cover. High bright sun today.
