Largemouth BassTechniqueWacky RigsSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureDocksFished a stretch of docks wacky rigging and sandy flats that had submerged vegetation. I was able to get most bites when covering all areas of docks.

Caught fish on submerged vegetation and docks in the AM. Jig and buzzbait was the deadly combo today. Lake is a big bowl so the only structure is the weed line or the docks on the lake. I would assume post spawn on these fish as most were extremely skinny/spawned out.

CrappieTechniqueDamiki RigSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureOpen Water/BasinFound schools of crappie from the surface down to 15 feet of water. Pierson is a bowl, so they were either relating to the weedline or just outside of it. Used mega live to find them, and used a multitude of colors and plastics to catch them, but the mix and match of different pinks and whites seemed to work the best.

Evening crappies again with sunnies mixed in. Shut off around 6:30 pm. Bite window seems to be 2-6 pm. Caught a couple pike as well. Jigging in 6-10 feet looking for holes in grass along a flat. Jig until one shows on the vexilar and then dead stick and they'll eat. Flutter spoon tipped with wax worm and crappie nibble.

Fishing for some late evening crappies with my brother. 6-8 feet of water with flutter spoons tipped with a wax worm and chartreuse powerbait crappie nibble. Super finicky, just needed to let it sit and they would eventually eat. Just along a flat around some submerged vegetation, looking for holes in the grass because in some areas it was still all the way up to the top. A hole in the grass that had standing grass up to the top seemed to hold the most fish.

Caught a bunch of big bass through the ice! Focusing on areas with high concentrations of bluegills and crappies and submerged vegetation. The lake is pretty much a bowl with no change in structure along the weed edge, so locating baitfish is important. Fishing from 6-10 feet of water while jigging a wonder bread and perch colored flutter spoon tipped with wax worms and power bait crappie nibbles. Surprisingly enough, The crappies were pushed in shallow as well. Limited out on sunnies and crappies very quickly as well using the same gear mentioned above. Caught close to 15 bass with the biggest pictured above at 5.4 pounds (my buddy's PB!) the video also features me catching a 4.6 pounder as well. Extremely fun day on the water! Looking forward to the ice getting off (hopefully soon) so we can start hammering some bass and fishing some tournaments!
