Largemouth BassTechniqueFinesse JigsSeasonSummerStructureBaitfishThe fish are biting! you really can’t go wrong anything shad shaped and moving will get you the bites expect 60-70 fish days fishing the shad boils in the hot water. You can find some bigger fish if you fish the tree and a little deeper. The fishing is back to its summer patterns and fish can be found all around the lake either shallow chasing gills and deep chasing big gizzards. I also found a really great glide bait bite and wake bait bite toward the evening.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueShallow Diving Crankbaits (0-6')SeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureBouldersWater Temps was 63 degrees. Clear skies very little wind. Nice calm day. Water visibility was between 6 to 24 inches. Most caught flipping grass cover or cranking with a square bill with a fast steady retrieve. When running topwater best reactions were with slight pause with a slow retrieve. When fishing a fluke slight twitches with long paused using a weed less straight shank hook was the best when running hook through the tips of the flukes.

Once the sun came up they moved into 12-18 ft of water off the dam and they where in the gray now that’s it’s FINALLY starting to show up. Fish are patterned on small 3 inch gills and a few are chasing shad deep in moving water.

Twitching flukes with a longer pause had good success as well. This time of the year soft baits are a way to go. A shallow and deep dive crankbait also helped trigger bits don't be afraid to try new colors. It's a perfect time to experiment with different colors to advance your experience with the clarity and weather conditions.
