Rolling spinnerbaits around and through lily pads. Consider this post spawn as I saw many empty and unused spawning beds. Fishing during windy days against the current definitely helped this bite

SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueWacky RigsSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureStumpsEnded up finishing in 4th place in the first Bassmaster Elite Series event on the St. Johns River, and I fished all four days on Rodman Reservoir! I was fishing isolated cover in Rodman, from lily pads to stumps to standing timber on flats anywhere from 4 to 9 feet of water. The fish were moving up to spawn more and more everyday, I was targeting the fish in transition to there spawning grounds and picking them off when they would set up on the isolated cover. Catching them on reaction baits such as jerkbaits and then following it up with the wacky / neko rig to clean house.

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.
