Crawfish
By the raw mouths it looked like primary forage for bass right now in Maple is Blueish Craws. Started fishing around 6:40 and had what amounted to a 17lb bag by 11:00am. Water temp was 73-75 for most of the time we were out. Fish were out the middle during the early morning and popping on small baitfish, but couldn't get a lot of top water working. Was able to get a couple on a prop bait and a big popper. Once the sun came out the bass started moving up to the docks/laydowns and fishing got pretty good. Natural cover seemed to work the best with shallow diving crankbaits in blue/silver colors. We managed over 30 fish by the time we went in for the day, with only a few under 14" for the whole day. Target the laydowns with fast moving shallow divers (lipless or squarebills).

Perch
Water temp was 71, and visibility was about 2 feet. Seemed the bass were primarily chasing after schooling perch. The pattern ended up being wacky worms around fallen trees. We came in with 4 fish, unfortunately shook one off that wasn't hooked really well. Biggest one came off a rat-l-trap when it was getting dark ripped back in from the shallows.
