The lake got got cooled off with the recent storms that blew through the area. The water temperature was in the mid 80’s and the bait fish are finally schooling up. I noticed some surface activity and threw my drop shot up shallow and immediately got bit. I focused on shallow cover and there would almost always be a fish on it.

As a general rule of thumb, I believe that bass will stay shallow almost all year long no matter what the lake. Now depending on the time of year there might not be as many shallow but during the spring time they want to be shallow. Everything spines in the spring time whether it be gar, carp, bait fish, and of course bass. A spinner bait is one of the most effective ways you can catch a bass in the spring. I like the Mouse color because it puts off a solid silhouette and can mimic a lot of forage. One of my favorite ways to fish it is really shallow next to lay down to or brush. Since the spinner bait has a wire it acts as a good brush guard, and you can fish it very effectively on top of and through cover that a chatterbait will not go through. Make sure to have thick enough line so that if they do wrap you up and brush you will not break off. I prefer a seven speed reel because I can always speed it up if I need. The Curado MGL makes casting a spinnerbait super easy! Also, don’t be afraid to throw those bigger bladed spinnerbaits. Trust me they will eat it.
