Smallmouth BassTechniqueSoft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium)SeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureRip RapSlow rolling across rip rap banks that lead to chunk rock. 45 degree banks seemed to be key. Feel the bait hit off the bottom and deflections caused reaction bites. Worked with smallmouth, largemouth, and spots.

Threw a chatterbait on flats that had rock piles throughout and anywhere the wind was blowing into it was better. Also got into some whites and hybrids with the chatterbait.

Large Mouth Bass starting to pull up and stage on secondary points. Water temp was 50-52 degrees on March 23rd. You will catch bass anywhere from 1 to 15 ft of water. The deep bite is all but over at this time. Crank baits, jigs have been working well for me. Good Luck!

They’re starting to pull up shallow and getting ready to spawn so get in as much fishing in as you can.
