Largemouth BassTechniqueWacky RigsSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureDocksBass will use docks for many reasons during the spawn and there is no better bait to use than a wacky rig. Throw to all areas of the dock and let the bait fall on slack line.

Spotted BassTechniqueShakey HeadsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructurePointsFish rocky main lake and secondary points with shaky heads, ned rigs, and jigs. When shad were present, a jerkbait could be thrown into the mix

Been a very tough bite over the last 7+ days, local tournament last weekend was won for under a 20lb bag, most fish were coming off either a lipless crank (Rat-L-Trap, 6th Sense Quake 70, and a Strike King Redeye Shad in shad colors) fished over points and natural chokepoints or off soft plastics (Lizards and worms, either whites, watermelon, or a chartreuse color) along weed edges/grass and stumps, definitely going to be earning any fish that end up in the boat.

Bass are really starting to stack up in certain areas with good grass.Swim jig and blade gave me good numbers today.

Fish are still suspended and chowing down on schools of bait fish. They move really fast so it is hard to stay on top of them and get a bait in front of them. If you can get a bait in front of them they bite almost every time though. They should be spawning soon.
