We went out on opener for a few hours, the water temp was 64-65 and it seemed like bass were already off beds and in post spawn patterns. Most fish were caught throwing an evo with a live magic shad trailer on a flat or outside weed edge and bass would hit it on the pause after ripping through vegetation. Other bass were caught on a ned and a jig

Took the kayak for a late evening outing. Tossed a wacky rig and tube jig at shallow points around the island for a couple of hours without any luck. Saw some fish on my graph in the main lake channel and decided to throw the slobberknocker with green pumpkin Razor ShadZ trailer and hooked into a handful of LM bass right away.
