Early morning bite was hot with the Z-man SlingBladez spinnerbait and the Greenfish Tackle HammerHead Buzzbait. We were culling keepers by 7:30 in the morning. The bass were feeding on the outside of the reed line and were very aggressive. They were completely chocking the bait! The bite slowed way down after 9:30 in the morning. When the sun got high, had to punch a big jig to get 3 quality bites.

Fishing Weed infested flats with a plethora of bait and forage was the ticket for areas holding fish in all three phases of the spawn in February. Pitching stick baits to unseen bedding and staging bass on reed stems and casting around a swimming worm yielded bites in a variety of areas around the lake. Bladed jigs also produced good fish as well.
