LMB and Spotted bass can be found in creek channels on wood, and docks. Moving baits such as spinner baits chatter baits and swimbaits work well for aggressive fish, flipping when the bite gets tough.

I had a blast fishing small swimbaits on Lake Weiss for the Hobie Bass Open Series. I had a bunch of success up shallow and over brush piles with a smeltinator jig head paired with the royal bluegill spark shad from megabass. Cast up along structure or the brushline and slow roll that little swimbait and you will be hooking into some fiesty largies and spots!
