Newman Lake is starting to pop. Those water temps are creeping up toward 50° where the fish get really active. Find some submerged structure (logs, rock piles, humps) and throw this specific Duo Realis. It is hands down the most productive jerkbait I’ve ever thrown. Way more productive than the Vision 110. Just use a jerk, jerk, pause (3 second) presentation. You’ll be on the fish in no time!

The early morning/Night topwater bite is on! Buzz bait with a 6th sense swimbait as a trailer casting towards the pads!

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!

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.

Smallmouth BassTechniqueHard JerkbaitsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureSubmerged VegetationBoth 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.

Hot days of summer! Decided to go in the evening because it was a hot one today. Caught over 15 in 3 hours. Most of them were under docks.
