Largemouth BassTechniqueSoft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium)SeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureBaitfishThe weather finally cleared up enough to get out and about. The fish felt the same way you couldn’t go wrong today the fish ate everything and anything you could throw at them. I found fish around 10 ft up to 3 ft lots of buck bass up shallow and their counterpart not far behind. These fish are just a few warm days from bedding up.

The fishing has once again started to get good. the fish really wanted moving today from swimming a jig to a bigger swimbait to find those bigger bites. Expecting larger fish to come shallow with warmer water.

If you’re not out now you’re missing out. This is the best time and the easiest time of the year to catch a 25 pound bag out here you can’t go wrong. Lots of buck bass shallow preparing and the females aren’t far behind you can find fish from 2-16ft. The bass are targeting crawfish mostly but you can still put together a good bag with the finesse swimmer. I’ve noticed that the crawfish are more greenpumkin and blue compared to the red they were last week. Get out there now if you’re looking for that trophy fish.

With water temps down the fish are a slow to move up. They are still in the same areas but have to work extra hard to get them to bite. The same ole same ole chatterbait, Trap and Dropshot are the keys.

With a slow tipping action created some success today with a darker colored soft bait. Good bait was a power worm blue and sparkling attractive bait was best success.

Throwing away from shore line works great had most success letting the crank dive through the rocks drawing out my catches. Had a little success flipping in the brush. The water is fairly clear.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueBladed JigsSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureSubmerged VegetationThe Large Females are moving shallow and moving into the shallow trees as-well as in isolated gras patches in 6 feet of water. Big largemouth will start moving into the shallows within the week. The fish are targeting more bluegill and crayfish this time of year and darker colors like green pumpkin are producing the best. My key bait today was a Z-man jackhammer reeling over shallow flats or near wood.

The fish i found were in anywhere between 7-10 feet of water and were mostly targeting crawfish and a few chasing bluegills shallow. I caught most of my fish flipping trees in 8 feet of water and fishing the current off of the hot water outlet. I also found some fish cruising around grass patches with a rattle trap.
