Bass are feeding heavily in the first hour of daylight, you can get bit on topwater but its a tough bite. Crankbaits, bladed jigs, spinnerbaits, & swim jigs have been producing early morning bites but once the sun gets above the trees, its time for the finesse baits or jigs out deep or around the shade lines of the docks.

Most bass are moving out of the pockets and back to the main lake. Schooling on shad first thing in the morning. Main lake points with flats are key. Big bass are still around the bream beds in the pockets
