Largemouth BassTechniqueSoft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium)SeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureLedgesCaught a few largies on the drops off of spawning flats. Slow rolling a 3.8, going fast enough to keep it in the middle of the water column was key. Play with the size of the jig head you use along with retrieve speed.

Smallmouth BassTechniqueSoft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium)SeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureRip RapSlow rolling a 2.8 in green pumpkin caught several fish. Rip rap, deep edge off of flats, and a few up on the flats were all places to get bit.

Good outing fishing open flats with weeds. Bluegill and gold colors worked best and most bites came on slow to moderate retrieve ripping through or just above the weeds about 4-6’ deep. Caught 12 largemouth and 2 small pike all but one on crankbaits, other bass on Ned rig in about 3-4’
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueBladed JigsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureDocksWater warmed from 47 degrees a few days ago to 60 degrees today. 32 mile an hour wind gusts on top of the major warming trend had the fish chomping. Around docks and flat shallow bays were the ticket.
