- Species
Largemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Pitch/Flip)SeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureLaydownsSpawn/ Post Spawn water was high and muddy. I sight fished for 3 hrs. but couldn't see the fish or the bed well enough to catch them.

CrappieTechniqueVertical Jigging Mid Depth (10-19')SeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureStumpsThe cold streaks and rains have the crappie offshore and the bite is slow. The water is 57 so I expect they will be moving up shortly. Each morning was able to get about 15 in the boat with small tubes and shad spikes at about 16-18 feet.

State finals! We thought we had it all maped pit after practice with carolina rigs but then on day 1 we only caught a catfish. So for day 2 we switched it up because we were seeing lots of shad and caught our 4 dinks on a square bill. Hard tournament for us, lots of lessons learned, but overall we were just happy to be there. Cant wait to do it again next year and this time we know what to do.

I made a quick stop at a feeder creek/pond to lake shelbyville and tried a few baits. I was hopping a little finesse football jig around by the dam when I stuck this giant!

We were fishing a club tournament. Weighed the top two Big Bass for the derby. Both were right at 17”
