Had the opportunity to a couple of days recently and had success with a number of lures and techniques. Early morning saw the best success with the Berkley Bullet Pop and as the day progressed tried other techniques: spinnerbait and wacky rig with more numbers caught on wacky rig. Right now the spawn is in transition with some females starting to bed, males on beds guarding eggs and other males guarding fry.

After the recent heavy rain the water clarity was less then 2'. Over the past week we've thrown a lot of different lures, the only lure we had success with after the rain has been a double willow spinner bait with a boot tail trailer.

Threw a 3/8oz Strike King Hack Attack Heavy Cover Sexy Shad Swim Jig this afternoon with a Shad color boot tail trailer, caught 4 good sized LMB in less than an hour. The body of water I was fishing is 3-5 feet deep, so I would count the jig down to 3 and retrieve at a moderate speed, pausing the retrieve slightly when the fish made initial contact.

Bass are starting to move up shallow, some are already on beds. We had a our best success recently with a chatterbait and swimbait trailer and a Texas rigged creature bait. The chatterbait technique is chuck and wind while we were bouncing the Texas Rig along the bottom, with the strike occurring on the fall.
