Largemouth BassTechniqueSwim JigsSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureLaydownsCheck out my YouTube Channel, @ECRD Fishing! Fish were not spawning quite yet. Struggled on main lake where water was too clear and 59 degrees, also struggled in Upper Mud where water was too cloudy and 60. Finally, we were ready to give up when we hit a small, protected canal on the NW side of Upper Mud. That is where they were! Caught 4 big ones and missed 4 more! 2 on Swim Jig, 2 on Wacky Worm. Water in canal was 62, but we were taking water temp in afternoon when it is at its warmest. Also our thermometer is in the top 5 inches of the water column, so reading may be inaccurate. Tight lines!

A little shore spot off of the Yahara River near Waubesa behind Rutabaga. Thousands of bluegills pile in here and the bass get to chewing! Bluegill pattern lipless crankbait was the deal! Slow straight retrieve got it done. Caught 15 in 90 minutes!

It took a while, then I went to one I've had success under in past years. Baam! Two quick bass before lines out for a 2nd place finish.

Use a jerk jerk pause technique and they’ll usually hit the lure on the pause.

Fished this lake 4/24/21. It was like fishing the dead sea. No matter what I threw at them I could not get them to bite. There were folks catching on minnows but the lure action was non existent on this day.
