SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueFinesse JigsSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureLaydownsWe hit the middle arm of Sangchris last weekend. The water temp at the boat ramp on the east side was 60 degrees but down the middle arm it was between 70 and 72 in most areas. I caught a 3 and a 3.5 pounder. The 3 lb bass was caught on a black and blue Motley Fishing Pitching Jig and the 3.5 lber was caught texas rigging a googan krackin craw in okechobee color. The bite is definitely starting to turn on! Check out the video below of the catches and see more on this lake and other central IL lakes on my youtube channel 217 Bassin! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d95oR_DspA8
