This is probably near the end of this technique being effective but it is insanely good at this lake. They seem to really love the Tablerock SP color. I caught 15-20 this trip. I have been catching them all spring on jerkbaits right above the grass flats. Ideally you would just tag the tops of grass but not get stuck in it. The fish will usually come out of the grass for it. The grass is already within 4’ of the surface and 6’ in the deeper areas. Once any more grass comes in the jerkbait won’t be easy to use there.

The Vision 110 has done wonders here all spring. Either finding suspending schools or fishing it above the submerged grass. I got 25 here and I didn’t start fishing until 2pm. The biggest went 4.4lbs.

Had a great day today and caught everything on Jerkbaits. The largest came on the Table Rock SP and was 20.25” and 4.6lbs. I also used the gill color and caught some nice ones. They completely switched up how the want the bait presented. They wanted it fast and furious last week today you had to work it like it was the middle of Winter and they would smash it on the pause. I was fishing the jerkbait so slow and the “jerks” were more like taps. I was just moving the bait enough to show the color of side and reeling it slowly. Most fish would hit it on the pause. The fish are either suspended over the submerged grass or down in it. Just adjust the jerkbait to keep it right above the grass and work it slow.

I caught most of my fish on spybaits this trip. The fish were still setup the way they were when I caught them on jerkbaits but the were reluctant to hit them. I did catch one nice one on a jerkbait still. I would throw the spybait out as far as I could and count it at a fall rate of 1’ a second and when it would be at the top of the grass line I would reel in slowly. The largest fish of the day came on this rig. It is a slow way to fish but it catches them when other things wont work.

TroutTechniqueDrop ShotSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureLaydownsThey stocked trout this year and I have been getting them on drop shots while bass fishing. About half have come from deeper water and half from out of shallow structure. This came out of an overhang in about a foot of water.

Managed 3 over 18” and a bunch of smaller ones all on jerkbaits. I couldn’t get them to consider anything else except for one I got on a 2.8” Keitech. They were relating heavily to the grass already. I tried to keep the bait as close as possible to the top of the grass and it did the trick.

Bass are getting stupid in pre-spawn! I caught a total of 44 all on jerkbaits. Most came on the 110 in Mat Shad. I also got some on the 110+1 in Table Rock SP. When it was really calm and sunny they follow the Table Rock but wouldn’t commit as often. When it was windy and overcast they preferred it. After a lot of followers on the Table Rock I put the Mat Shad on and got two on one cast! Interestingly they would hit the Mat Shad on the pause and wanted the Table Rock moving. Was fishing in 8-12’ that had grass about 2’ high. I was hitting the top of the grass and ripping it out.
