Largemouth BassTechniqueSpinnerbaitsSeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureFlooded BrushI focused on green brush off a 45° bank running a spinner bait pass the bushes with any type of green leaf on them. Targeted lay downs as well Fish more of the 1 foot visibility water at the middle section of the lake. Lots of fun give it a try awesome spinner bait for the toolbox.

Spinnerbaits and powershot were also working pitching into all the newly flooded brush
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueBuzzbaitsSeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureFlooded BrushSo this report predominantly covers the period from 27 May to 1 June. The water is going through a lot of change with the rapid rise in water and the rapid fall in water. There are some stable fish offshore setup on humps and brush piles, but it’s selective and if the pressure is up, the bite gets tough. If the buck brush is still flooded there are numerous bite options including buzz baits, craws, worms, and spinnerbaits. Additionally, early you may be able to find an agressive shad spawn. Slower presentations were more productive. Caught largies and smallies both.

Smallmouth BassTechniqueBladed JigsSeasonSummerStructurePointsCaught most on the early morning bite between 6am and 9am off rocky transition points. They were fairly active and chasing shad out in the deeper water, 10’-20’ very little wind and sunny. Water visibility was about 3 or 4’. Caught a few with jerk baits but needed more water movement for that to be effective, I think so went to the chatterbait and nailed em.

Bass were active early morning around the big boulders/rocks of the coves nearer the dam. The storm wiggle wart and the zman jack hammer out did the jig bite. Mostly in the 4-10’ range. Very windy conditions but it was bright and sunny. The day started out a little chilly but warmed to mid 60’s.

Bite started out slow early on but as the sun warmed up the water temp it picked up. They were holding tight on brush piles at 16-20’ ow. Very windy and hard to hold on the points but dragging tandem goldenheaded hand ties was the ticket.
