I was able to fish Bello Lake on 2 consecutive days with low to no wind. I found lots of Largemouth bass outside the lily pads that line the outside of the lake out to 16 feet of water. I used a Phantom Shad Whopper Plopper on the overcast days I fished. I caught lots of 14 to 17 inch bass. My largest over 2 days was a 18.75" tank. The action was crazy FUN! Lots of top water blowups!

I fished late afternoon to dusk. The bite was hot from 4:30 to 7:30! I caught 13 bass and 5 pike and lost more. The Z-Man Big Blade Chatter Bait was popular. In calm areas, the Whopper Plopper 90 Loon color generated strikes. Bello Lake has a healthy population of bass and pike. There is low motor traffic most times I am there. Many times, I am the only one on the lake. It's a favorite of mine when I'm in the area with my kayak. Check it out!

Casting the Whopper Plopper right up to the edge of the pads, into open pocket areas, or parallel to the edge of the pads produced lots of blow ups from bass and pike! The action accelerated and the bite got hotter when the sunny morning turned to overcast skies. That accelerated the feeding frenzy!

Surface temp was low 60s but only found two fish up on beds with most fish doing prespawn things. Covering water with a chatterbait is effective, hitting every laydown you can—and there are a lot in this lake. When the cover got too thick, switched to a swim jig and caught fish on that as well. T-rigged Rage Bug got the only decent bed fish I found.
