Largemouth BassTechniqueBlade BaitsSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructurePointsWater temps were still pretty cold, tried to force some moving baits but found the most success yo-yo-ing a blade bait off of points in deeper water.

The fluctuation in temps have caused the fish to become somewhat finicky on the smaller bodies of water. With vegetation still dying off, you can still see some smaller isolated patches of grass that you can still find a bass or 2 in. I was deadsticking the rod as the flow of the water imparted enough action. I also hooked up with a couple bass by trying to target blow ups or the forage busting the water. Slow retrieves all the way around worked better.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueBladed JigsSeasonFallStructurePointsWith this "Lake" being more of a pond rather than a lake, the bass main forage is bluegill. I was targeting points and pockets, managed to hookup with a few. The largest being just shy of 3lbs.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueFinesse JigsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureRip RapTargeting rocky rip rap banks. The water is too cold for spawning, but the fiah are definetly moving up. I was slowly dragging the jig along the rocks. The lighter the jig, the better. I was utilizing a BFS setup casting a 1/8 oz jig. Caught probably 20+ bass with most being in the 1lb range, a handful of 2-3lbers and the 5lber in the photo. Was a great fight on the bfs setup!
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueFinesse JigsSeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureRip RapThe finesse jig is still working. I haven't seen any beds yet for early spawners, but the fish are most definitely up shallow. I only had about 4 hours to fish and boated around 10 or so bass. Most being in the 1-1.5lb range and a couple that were 2lbs or so +. The weeds are starting to grow up so casting the the bank and dragging it up to the weedline is what yielded the most bites.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueStructure JigsSeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureRip RapI got out for an afternoon fishing session. The bite was a bit tougher this week, which I think could be attributed to the storms we had roll through the area the past week. A Finesse Jig and Pitching jig were my most productive baits over a spinnerbait, lipless, or chatterbait. When casting up onto rip rap banks the finesse jig seemed to be the bait. when targeting the drop-offs dragging along the weedlines or fishing docks the heavier pitching jig seemed to produce more bites. overall I boated around 5-7 or so fish, lost another 3lber at the boat on a botched net job.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueBladed JigsSeasonFallStructureBaitfishWhile the bass haven't quite moved up shallow, they are staring to chase bait. i had more luck downsizing from a standard Jackhammer and 4"+ trailer. Fishing from the bank, I was casting about 75'+ outside of a corner pocket and got all of my bites in the first 5 or so turns of the reel. Landed 2 decent size bass(3lbs or so) in about 20 minutes.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueFinesse JigsSeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureRip RapFinesse jig was still the bait of choice( Threw spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, full-size jigs, and a shakeyhead as well). They are staging off the bank a little bit chasing bluegills that are on bed. Didn't catch anything of real size.
