      53°

    We started out at 0900 hours in 54 degree air temps. Water temps were at 53 degrees. We scouted multiple locations - shallow, deeper, muddy water stained water and clear water. Bluebird skies. Calm winds and mild chop. Mile roads on LSC. At about 1030hrs the bite turned on and while we were getting hit on swimbaits, they wouldn’t commit. Dragging a tube along bottom, on a tube jig, worked the best. Various colors were used but the green pumpkin was what they bit on. The NEW Shimano Mastiff FC in 12lb cast the 1/4oz tube jig a mile, was supple and not too stiff, no backlashes even casting into the wind. Seems very durable and disappears in the water. Much needed with these clear water areas we were fishing in 8FOW and you could see bottom. It’s still early pre-spawn, but the warming water is going to bring them in QUICK!

    • Structure

      Submerged Vegetation

    Target prespawn crappie around the mouths of bays with large shallow flats. Locate fish by fan casting, drifting, trolling, or utilizing FF sonar. Once found, spot lock or anchor and pick those fish apart by casting 3/16 or 1/8oz ball head jigs with 1 1/2” - 2” plastics suspended under a float. Utilize the spring time winds and breeze to add movement to your offerings. Have fun!

    Covering water adjacent to known spawning grounds. Fish were roaming - not particularly holding to structure.

    If you can find rocks in 6-10 feet on the mile roads, doesn’t matter if chunk or boulders, you’ll find fish!! Loved the Vision 110 on Saturday morning. The water clarity was gin clear at some points, and murkier at others, doesn’t matter, it seems the natural colors (Shad and perch) of my jerkbaits did the best. Nailed the pictures 4.5 pounder on the Pro Perch color. My 6’10 M Expride and 71MGL also fought the beast perfectly. Highly recommend that combo for any northern fisherman throwing jerks.

      Perch

    Fishing flats with scattered rock in 8-10 feet produced the most bites and the jerkbait got all of our bigger bites including a 6 and a 5. Working it erratically seemed to trigger the most bites and the bigger bites. Perch was definitely the key color because we experimented with several others and didn’t get bit.

      Rock Pile

    Finding rock veins in 8-10 feet was key. Dragging tubes slowly through the rocks seemed to trigger them the most. Most bites seemed to come right after it popped free from a rock and just let it drop back down on slack line.

    The fish seemed post-spawn. 4-8 foot of water off the breaks on the mile roads. We did not catch any pre-spawn bigguns! Disappointed! We fished May 6-9 in a lot wind. That made it tough. The drift sock helped, also drifted Baby Z-Too that caught several. A few walleye were caught also.

    If you want to NAIL some LSC Largemouth. Pull out the old reliable structure/skipping jig and skip docks! We were on fire thru docks that were at least 3-4 feet deep. Cast structure: pilings, sea wall corners, docks, boat hoists, anything you think a bass might want to hunker down under. I found that trailer color didn’t matter as much, but black and blue GOT IT DONE. Make sure you pair your jig with a GOOD rod and reel for jig skipping. It’s SUPER important you do so, so you’re not spending the whole run thru the dock undoing a birds nest. Good luck and tight lines!!
