Minnows
Early after ice out, the white bass roam the basin in wolf packs feeding on suspended minnows. They move amazingly fast for 45-50 degree water. Best if you can locate the moving schools with Livescope, then toss Jerkbaits with 3-4 jerks with a few pauses added in. The Stunna in Shad Fillet seems to be the ticket for the larger fish.

Largemouth are still spawning on this lake. I caught multiple females that hadn't spawned yet. The males were clearly defending the beds because I caught multiple bass outside of their mouth.
