- Species
Largemouth BassTechniqueBladed JigsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureSubmerged VegetationBurning the bait was the key this morning in dark to light clouds with some peeking sun also. As soon as the bait hit the water ripping it through with a 7.1 almost as fast as I could with the random jerk pause was the fastest way to get the fish in the boat. Nice 1.75 with dark green body today.

Smallmouth BassTechniqueShallow Diving Crankbaits (0-6')SeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureBouldersThe river is around flood levels and moving fast. Fish were found in backwaters that were less stained and tight to cover (boulders and laydowns). Squarebills early and Texas rig tubes in the afternoon seemed to work best.

Pre spawn smallies piling up om drops along spawning pockets. Chewing up flatsided crankbaits. Plenty of smallies up to 4lbs along with largemouth, walleye, pike, and crappie. Water temps high 50s
- SpeciesSmallmouth BassTechniqueBuzzbaitsSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureRip Rap
Water levels were up from recent rains, and the current was ripping. Found fish stacked on a south-facing riprap bank with slack water, holding tight in less than a foot. Ran a buzzbait parallel to shore and hammered them.

Both largemouth & smallmouth bass were spawning on rip rap banks with low or no current in pockets near main channel. Beds were not visible due to water clarity, but fishing slow in likely areas produced fish. 1/8oz unpegged texas rigs and super short leader drop shots were the most productive.

Looks for natural & man made rocky shore line areas mixed with gravel. Cover water with squarebill crankbaits in Late April and Early May looking for staging smallies. Once you find them, slow down and drag green pumpkin tubes for extra fish.

Late April Pre Spawn conditions, water temps low to mid 50s. Work the laydowns and cover on north bank of Moores Lake for largies action with Flipping jigs or soft plastic texas rigs. Focus on areas where deeper water is closest to the banks & hard bottom. Few bonus pike mixed in as well. Black and blue color combos seem to be best

Tubes and Texas rigs on hard banks with wood and rock in and around spawning areas for smallies and largies, some smallies still found on current seems close to pockets
