Largemouth BassTechniqueBladed JigsSeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructurePointsOvercast day, light drizzle, no wind. Caught one on a wacky rigged senko, saw this beast chasing bait breaking the surface, started fishing a chatterbait fast and erratic, only got a few cranks in before I caught this one.

Got em a little before sunset before work from the bank. Bounced along till he snatched it.

Nicest one of the day, came off a stump in three feet or less as my trap bounced across it. Fairly muddy, back of a long shallow flat. Caught five or six more throughout the day on spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, and Ned rigs.

Smallmouth BassTechniqueBladed JigsSeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureSubmerged VegetationHiked a couple miles through the woods, caught a couple along the way. The nicest was on the chatterbait, fishing off a fifteen foot cliff… Very windy, deeper grass beds at about twenty feet or so up against a pretty abrupt rock bank.

Crappy day, the weather, not the fishes… rained, all day. Windy, all day. Cold, all week. I caught a few dinks on ned rigs to start. Then switched to a chatterbait to try for something bigger and lucked out. All in four feet of water or less, mostly less. All tucked in pretty heavy stuff tight to the banks.

Rained pretty good right before I went out a couple hours before sundown, then again while I was out. Fishing from the bank casting to clumps I could see, could decent ones hit my lure right after busting through or by some fairly thick stuff.
