While there are still plenty of fish spawning on the banks of lake Welsh I have had success targeting the fish going and coming from the bank instead. This has proved to be efficient as well since the grass continues to get thicker and thicker making it harder to reach the spawners. I have a three ponged approach that includes a 3/8oz bladed jig, a swimming worm and a Neko rig, and that is the exact order I use them in as well. If you can find a stretch of grass that that is sparse in that 3-8 foot range those baits will catch you a number of fish and big fish as well. Having deeper water nearby is also plus in making sure that you can go back down the same stretch later in the day and have the potential to fish for new fish that have moved in that zone.

Alright y’all. The lake is definitely post spawn with a few cruising in the shallows still. Water temp was 68-70 because it is a power plant lake with water clarity pushing 6ft in some areas. I focused on drains and creek channels where the bass were pushing shad or bluegills. The jerkbait was one thing they loved to chase around. I had about 21lbs for my best 5 and caught them in 6ft to 25ft of water. With the clear water they can see and hear the jerkbait coming from a long way away. Good luck!
