Slow day of fishing, but the majority of our fish came off a Texas rigging a black trick worm and flipping to the base of trees/stumps.

All fish were caught wacky style with trick worms, I primarily used the Texas Outdoor Research Co. trick worms in the California 420 color until I ran out, then switched back to zoom. Early morning these fish were in the hay grass that is mostly submerged right now due to the water rising back up to full pool. Later in the evening these fish moved slightly farther out into the hydrilla beyond the hay grass. Bite was on fire for the first few hours. Then slowly decimated. Most of the fish we caught were buck bass. Saw quite a few fish roaming the banks but did not see any fish locked down onto a bed. Fish on 💯😎

Frog bites on Rayburn were few and far between but we did manage to land one for the day. Throwing the frog way back in the flooded brush and most of the time they would hit it and miss it and have to throw in there again for them to get it.

- SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueHard JerkbaitsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureRiver Channels
Smaller bass were in the backs of creek channels sitting in 5-6ft when the water temp was 55. The slightly larger bass were sitting in 7-9ft for the majority of the day. These fish were feeding on shad, and schooling on the edges of channel swings next to shore. Once the sun really came up those fish moved up on top of shallow points and flats and start feeding on craws.
