With the water temps staying steady the last few weeks the bite has been on fire. Blade baits seem to catch the most fish this time of year.

SpeciesSmallmouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Pitch/Flip)SeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureStumpsBoth small mouth and large are on beds, For small mouth look for shallow bays with short stumps with exposed rootball. Almost every stump will have a bed under it. Sneak up to the spot cause fish are spooky. Make a silent cast passed the stump and slowly drag to the bed then twitch bait until fish bites. For largemouth look for natural banks with lay downs. Tip: use snag less rigs to help prevent snagging wood and forcing you to drive up to strike zone to get bait unhooked.

Caught a ton skipping under the shallow end of docks. Couldn’t resist a good worm. Really recommend the crossover rings!! None of my worms ripped that day and they will continue to rip more lips.
