With water Temps in the low to mid 50's the bite was still a little slow on the east side of the lake. I found fishing ledges and off steep drops to be key with a slow bait like a jig or ned rig works also.

Caught a mix of smallmouth and largemouth. Seemed to be post spawn, still shallow relating to flats near deeper areas. Tubes, shakes heads in bream colors

Texas rigs in brush is producing great quality fish and will also catch numbers if you move to shallow brush.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueHard Topwater (Walking)SeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureBrush PilesFishing on Lake Wilson was FANTASTIC! Largemouth and Smallmouth bass are large and plentiful (along with giant striped bass and walleye). Water temps were 68 to 75 and many bass are still on beds and spawning. I was able to catch bass on beds but also found a wicked topwater bite on the Evergreen SB! Cast your SB close to the bank or amongst laydowns and stickups and hold on. Bass were crushing the SB, both largies and smallies will slam topwater here, as well as moving bait such as swim baits and spinnerbaits. Baitfish are large and plentiful, hold onto your rod as you could easily find yourself hooked onto a double digit striper as well. For the finesse fisherman, there are tons of limestone bluff walls and rockpiles to target. A green pumpkin hula stickz on a lightweight nedrig jighead was fire on that deeper bluff bite.

Largemouth bass are in the backs of most small lake coves roaming for newly hatched shad. In most cases, the are aggressively biting. I was successful throwing a 4” pit boss, most any color. Fish are 2-5 lbs with most in the 4 lb category. As the sun gets higher, bass are looking for shady spots to ambush shad.
