- Species
Largemouth BassTechniqueSoft Body Swimbaits (Large)SeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureDocksLargemouth were up against the bank and under docks bedding. Spots were mostly on points with some under docks. Most seemed satisfied from shad spawn but managed to pull one largemouth off the back corner of a floating dock and a spot with a pearl Swimbait. White was the color of the day as we had several spots hit a white rattle trap.

Night fishing on a cloudy night so basically no moonlight despite the almost full moon. Pulled it through edge of submerged green light next to a dock.

Spotted BassTechniqueNed RigsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureDocksSpotted and largemouth bass: The lake is still at winter pool (50-52*), so structure is key. Fallen trees/brush is scarce but still holds fish. The docks and marinas are also showing fish as they stage for the spawn. Presentation has to be slow and small/medium. This week, I’ve been using lighter Ned jigs with Googan Rattlin Ned worms to good effect. Go slowly and thoroughly work an area before moving on.

Had some luck on the chatterbait around docks and banks. Switching between steady retrieve all the way back and slower retrieve with rod twitches/half reel twitches for quick action. Golden shiner was working during overcast part of the day and green pumpkin shad during sunnier part of the day.
