    Look for large boulders in 3’-8’ of water. In the mornings and the evenings, big bass will come up shallow to feed around structure. The Rapala Jointed Shad Rap is the best spring time lure. Just chuck and wind. Grind it into the bottom, whether rocks or sand. It imitates a crawfish so well. Just wait for them to slam it.

    It seems like the smallmouth are really becoming aggressive as they move up. They are wanting twitch presentations like a jerkbait, jig or Senko. Use a Megabass Kanata GP in the pro perch color. Just use a jerk, jerk, pause presentation with pauses only lasting 2 seconds. The fish will hit it on the pause. You’ll be on them in no time!

    Both the smallmouth and largemouth are cruising the flats in 4-10’ of water near weed lines. Throw out the Duo Realis in a perch pattern. Just work it slowly in the shallows with a twitch, twitch pause cadence. I landed 14 total in about three hours. This was my biggest one that weighed in just over 5lbs.
