Been having some good trips on Stockton if you are going up the river a jig and a spinnerbait is all you need. If you are fishing more of the mid to main lake megabass and a jig have been working with a few fish being caught on an arig and Crankbait. Go out and have fun and enjoy some spring fishing 🎣

Lake level is up in the bushes and fresh water was coming in the creeks so grinding squarebills did the trick!

Southern part of the lake by aldrich. Focused on channel swing ledges. The fish are tucked close to the bank and the zapper jig was hot today. Also had a Topwater bite in a small pocket on the wind blown side.

I started the day targeting shallow wood with a half ounce jig. I got a couple of bites all coming on the fall, this prompted me to pick up the Fat Ika and back glide it. I went back through the areas I got bit on the jig, and began to pick off fish in just about every other laydown I fished. The shallow wood bite is on. Stay in the southern river arms if you're looking to catch better-sized largemouth as the water is more stained and slightly warmer. As you can see from the picture, I was fishing very shallow. Also, if you dip the tube-like appendages in chartreuse it seems to make a difference.

I was throwing a Crock-O-Gator shaker head because the hook on it is amazing and it gets threw the rocks and lay downs good. On the shaker head was a zoom finesse worm
