Things are changing fast out here. With all the warm weather, water temps were up over 5 degrees just from last week. They're definitely off the deep points, but they haven't bedded down for the spawn yet. I had to find submerged brush piles and boulders to find them. Fortunately, I got my Omnia purchase of Z-Man chatterbaits just in the nick of time to use on Saturday. The Chattershad trailer was perfect! Buzzing those baits over and around the submerged cover would fire them up. I got a few on a Texas Rig with a 6th sense Hog-walla, but they would be smaller sized. It seemed the chatterbait would fire up the larger ones....which is what we're all chasing. Good Day!

The bass are finally waking up! We've had nice run of about 10 warm days and nights in a row and I believe that got them thinking about the spawn. So they're off the deck (although I was still doing well with that Senko Sexy Shad twitching along the bottom at 20-30 feet) and roaming around. As much as I love finesse fishing....I like casting and moving around too. So it was fun to be on the lookout for submerged rock piles, drop offs and cover and then bringing that KVD 300 Jerk Bait over the top....they had a hard to time resisting! I always look for baits and lures that have a purple shade in there...it matches up well with the flash of a kokanee...
