Water temp was warm enough I was looking for a shad spawn and was not able to find anything. Very confusing times on Rodman water is down about 10ft according to lake master so the water temp is swinging quite a bit with the weather. A 10 degree difference in a week. We caught a few on poppers early morning. Shallow diving jerkbait was the only constant bite I had. Had a few followers in the 2-3lb range on the 6” freestyle. To be honest the fish are scattered with water temps fluctuating from high 50’s to low 70’s within a week. Probably could have done better if I stayed in the canal or went deep in the river section where fish can come up and feed or bail the shallows for a front.

Started the day bass fishing caught a few nice ones on the wacky rig on the south end of the lake but the bass wasn’t grouped up there like they were weeks prior. Wind was blowing out of the south around 10 mph. Moved to the channel to see if I could find the staged with the wind moving the water. I caught this nice crappie on the Stuna then went to work with zman micro catching several crappie, bream, and even a couple more bass.

Weather forecast said we were supposed to have a north east wind, so I decided to fish the south portion of the lake closer to the dam. Conditions was blue bird skies and zero wind. The water was glass and water visibility was about 6’. I found bass schooling on flats but relating to the bank. You could cast shallow with a wacky rig and catch plenty of bass 6” to 8” long. I seen lots of empty beds. The mega bass griffon produced the larger bites. This bait is high float, extremely snag proof in wood, and with a very small profile. It gave me a power fishing option in very finesse weather conditions.
