The water temps have finally hit 50°, so where are all the fish? Early spring largemouth will make runs into the shallows during the early morning hours, or during the evening. Outside of those times, they will often pull back to weed lines and look for wandering baitfish. Use a 1/2 oz Megabass SV-3 Double Willow Spinnerbait in Wagasaki to work the weed lines during the day and the shallows during low light hours. No need to put a trailer on the SV-3. Just slow roll it near the bottom. You’ll be on ‘’em in no time.

Although the water is still cold, these fish are in pre-spawn patterns. Target some of the shallower bays on the north and east side of the lake are the best. Look for submerged vegetation in 4’-10’ of water. Throw a Z-Man CrossEyeZ Chatterbait I. Fire Craw with either a 3.3” Keitech trailer (I like to match my Chatterbait color to my trailer) or a 4.5” spunk shad from Hog Farmer. You’ll be on ‘em in no time!
