- Colt ParkerBronze AmbassadorSpeciesSpotted BassTechniqueSoft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium)SeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructurePoints
Fish are stacking up farther back into pockets on points and nulls, focus in on areas with harder bottom consistency. Fish are hugging bottom due to weather but are not afraid to eat baits in the middle of the water column. Work the bait at a consistent medium pace with jerks and twitch’s mixed in.
