Largemouth BassTechniqueSpinnerbaitsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureLaydownsThese Fox Chain largemouth wanted a SLOW rolled spinnerbait right before the spawn. Weather was odd with on and off rain and the occasional thunderstorm. The Bass were pretty scattered with the overcast conditions and could be found in lay downs, off riprap, and near grass. I was using a Booyah but any White, Double Willow spinnerbait would have worked well to imitate Shad.

During early spring tournaments I targeted docks and pilings for largemouth. They primarily held on the sunny pieces of cover where they could absorb some warmth. I was pitching around a Rage Menace, Texas Rigged on a 3/0 EWG, with a lighter 1/4 oz bullet weight.

The fish were all up shallow chasing bait, they were slamming the Jackhammer left and right. They were on reaction so don’t be hesitant to move the blade fast. The single warm days work the best!

Nearby Three Oaks Reservoir—June 16–The spawn seemed to be over and the bass were picky and deep. We managed a couple of two pounders on jigs and a couple other bites. The deep fish were not actively feeding, but the ones we found on shallow lay downs and reeds were biting. There are HUGE crappie in this lake. The one pictured was like 16”. It ate a bass jig of all things.

May 6–Back in the spring I caught another bonus walleye on a spinnerbait! It was right up under a small dock in about a foot and a half of water. I caught it while flipping spinnerbaits at the retaining walls in a bass tournament.

The nicer one came on a dragging Ned rig on the pause. They were very lethargic. The smaller one came on a lipless crank ripping out of the grass.
