Had a big warm up in VA, pushed the big bass into the shallow waters. Caught over 40 Bass on the Booyah spinnerbait in 2-4feet of water around submerged stumps and brush. Biggest bass came in at 7lbs. Most bass were in the 3lb range. Slow rolling the spinnerbait seemed to be about the best technique going. The deeper bass were not committing to other typical winter baits.

Picking up bass on the Stuna Jerkbait. Bass were suspended at around 7-8 below the schools of shad. If you find the shad I would pick up bass under the shad school. I would get aggressive bites when I ripped the bait through the water. They were not hitting the bait on the pause.

Caught many bass on a Jerk Bait, primarily the Stunna 112 in Stunna Shad color but also the Strike King KVD 300. The bass were suspended around bait fish. The key was to find the bait fish and fish the Jerk bait around the bait fish to pick up the bass. Had one bass over 5lbs most were in the two to three pound range.
