As water temperatures get closer to 60 deg, largemouth bass are cruising the shallows feeding and preparing for the spawn. Working a t-rigged BBB Kamikaze Craw around boulders & logs in 1.5' to 5' of water using a hop-drag-hop retrieve has triggered strikes from feeding/staging bass over the last few trips. Keeping a wacky-rigged 5" Senko on second rod as a follow-up bait for missed strikes helped add a few extra bass as well.
