TechniqueNed RigsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureStumpsPre spawn bite is on big time right now! Most fish caught were on stumps in the sun around 3-6’ of water. Saw plenty of fish cruising the bank and even caught a few up shallow next to it. All baits came off a weedless ned (Venomlures.vom DK rig) and a Zman Hula (the deal). They’re bulking up and baitfish colors/imitators are the way to go right now!
