Largemouth BassTechniqueNed RigsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureDamFish are moving into prespawn. Lots of bucks shallow. Saw a female cruising shallow. During the afternoon, fish are a bit more active. They were taking finesse ned baits and Megabass jerkbaits. Fish are a bit sluggish but can be found shallow if you cover a lot of water moving slow and methodically.

Bass are finally starting to transition from winter patterns. If we get a string of warm weather they will be hitting pte-spawn really solid. Jigs with craw trailers worked well. Gin clear water, natural looks worked best.

The bass are on the move! Look for shallow grass areas with deeper water near by. Try hopping or ripping a bladed jig through the grass. A few bass have even been caught flipping shallow cover. The water level is coming up and and the fish are getting aggressive. No topwater yet, but it's not too far away. Good luck.

Bass are still in slow transition from winter to pre-spawn. Starting to see some bass move shallow at end of the day when water warms up. Many bass are still deeper between 20 and 30 feet, hugging humps and ledges. Success using jigs with craw trailers and finesse ned rig.

Pre-spawn is here! Woohoo! Water temperatures are in upper 50s to 60 degrees. Bass are starting to move up and sighting many fish shallow. For shallow fish, cast wacky rigs and weightless worms up into the trees and brush where you can find it. Lots of smaller fish up in the trees along with some larger females cruising. Many bass also stacked on ledges in deeper water and coming up and munching. Had success deeper on ned rigs as well as jigs with craw trailer. Did get some follows on chatterbait but nothing would take the chatterbait today, there was a lot of interest in it so adding as a possible bait in the list given it did get a lot of attention and chase. Adding Finesse jig that is similar to what I was using today. Things are heating up and the bass are hungry! Good luck!

Fish are moving to spawning locations and some are already on beds. Caught a lot of fat 1-3lbs. Ned rigs dragged along bottom - slower in the morning, faster in the afternoon. Most fish just feel mushy or heavy, very few classic "thunk" takes. Also picked up a handful of fish on megabass jerkbaits. When they hit, it was hard. If the wind is blowing find the warmer murky water.
