Largemouth BassTechniqueHover/Mid-StrollingSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureHumpsDealing with a significant warming trend and heavy practice pressure out there today. My primary plan was getting hammered early, so I had to make an adjustment and scrap the original game plan. I ended up hunting for isolated offshore structure. Found a few key submerged humps and drop offs. It was a grind, but we kept the trolling motor down and put a few in the box. Beautiful day touched 86 degrees air temp.

SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueHard JerkbaitsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureSubmerged VegetationWe won a local derb out here fishing pondweed with jerkbaits and traps. We only got 5 keeper bites all day, but they were the right ones totaling out at 11.90 pounds.

Most fish were being caught off of structure/weed edges using a suspending or slow sinking jerkbait. Fairly slow and should heat up in the coming weeks as the temps start to rise

Looked for brush in 8-10’ near rocky banks. Used a wackey rig to pick them apart. Weightless or with core tackle wackey shot to get deeper and fish faster.

Really had to slow down today. Was able to locate some brush piles then got some to bite the jerkbait. Followed up with a trick worm before I moved on. Overall was decent morning just had to cover water.

Tried moving baits early and got 1 but had to slow down and fish a shakey head around wood. Caught a handful including 1 really good one off a stick up in 5ft. Bite stayed slow for me and a few other anglers I talked to even though temps are nearing 60. It’s got to be close to firing off!
