Mother Nature just won't make up her mind with the temps lately, and has dumped tons of water on us making fishing quite tough around the Rez. We focused on post-spawn bass this week in small cuts off of main creek channels, as well as some ditches that push our from Pelahatchie Bay. My best bites came at the five-foot level on a Neko or Wacky Worm setup. I used both the free fall and weighted worms, with good bites from the heavy nose around stumps and new grass forming under the surface. Not gonna lie, it's been tough fishing for keeper bass thus far this Spring. We catch a lot of bass off the rip rap early and late, but no keeper sizes. Cranks at 5-7 feet and swim jigs getting it done there. Fighting the crappie fishermen for fishing space is getting crazy near the dam. Hopefully will have better report at the end of May.
