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.

Fish 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.
