Largemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Pitch/Flip)SeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureBrush PilesThe Bass are mostly off of beds and are starting to move to deeper water. 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.

Slow and very calm current. Water temps at 68 degrees, with winds up to 30 mph. Jerk baits and vibrating jigs and swim baits work. With slower retrieves.
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.

These bass are heavy on the post spawn now and really are everywhere you are going to have to weed through the small bucks in the shallows but there’s still hope to catch the big post spawn females on the shallow grass pads using moving baits aswell as there are a lot of fish sticking to the the man made cover and the sunken trees they just need a little convincing i found them using a finesse jig and a 8 inch glide bait.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueMedium Diving Crankbaits (7'-12')SeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureBouldersWater Temps in the low 50s. 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.

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.

The 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.
