Largemouth BassTechniqueShakey HeadsSeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureDocksThe fish were set up late in the day at the backs of the marina coves. I was slow dragging and slightly shaking the bait. The best 5 I estimate to weigh around 14 to 15 lbs

The fish are in a post spawn pattern and suspended off of points or around the bridge pilings in Rock Creek. The best technique I found was just casting and letting the worm fall on a slack line while falling through the strike zone. I paired the worm with an 1/8 oz. Round head jig. I also caught a couple nice smallmouth using a red shad Mann’s auger tail worm which I’m not sure are still in production.

Crappie were slow using soft jigs with crappie candy. White bass were hitting heavy along bluffs where you find schools of shad. Did catch a nice 20" big mouth. Casting towards shore using a two piece silver rattle trap lure. Great day on the lake, hot very little breeze.
