Smallmouth BassTechniqueLipless CrankbaitsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureSubmerged VegetationThe smallmouth bite is insane right now. Just cast one of these LV500's out in 6'-8' of water, and rip it off the bottom, and let it fall. Just keep yo-yoing it back to you, and the smallies will smash it.

Cast these out in 6'-8' of water (especially the north end). Just hop these off the bottom. You be slamming big smallmouth.

Water temps have been heating up and the fish are moving, especially the smallies. We found some in 10 foot of water and we were dragging the ned rig on the bottom. Love the yamatanuki 3.5 inch and decided to try the smaller 2.5 on a ned head. Works perfect!

Largemouth BassTechniqueBladed JigsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureSubmerged VegetationThe bass are transitioning from their winter homes to them shallows. On sunny days they will move up in the afternoon from 12’-15’ of water to 4’-6’ to feed. Use a Megabass SV-3 in Wakasagi without a trailer to simulate a school of baitfish. Use it near weed lines in that transition area of 6’-10’. No special action needed, just cast and slow roll it along the weed lines. You’ll be on the fish in no time.

There are tons of smallmouth up shallow cruising, feeding up, and preparing to spawn. Look for sandy bottom in the flats between 2’ and 8’ of water. If you find one, you’ll find a bunch. Throw the Megabass Ito Vision 110 in a Gill color to imitate a wounddd perch / bluegill. Just use a jerk, jerk, pause retrieve. Let the lure Ouse from 2-4 seconds. You’ll be on them in no time.

Wind was blowing pretty well. Caught 4 bass in 6-8 foot of water above scattered rocks and soft bottom. They were loving the 6th sense provoke jerkbait. Changed it up with 2 twitches to 3 twitches with a little pause.

Went back into an inlet on this lake. Wind was blowing hard so we wanted to get where it was a little calm. We saw some beds and lots of fishing roaming. Caught this one a little deeper in the weedy area.
