Caught just under 22lbs for my best 5 last Sunday. I was sitting in a ditch pretty much all day just going up and down it. One side of the ditch had standing timber on the sides and in it. There were pulled pretty close to the timber but I could still see them on my scope pretty well. Just toss at em with a minnow and some of them would eat it. I noticed that the ones that were roaming with 2-4 other bass would eat it way better. Go catch em!

although the weather was pretty bad, wind, rain, and extremely cold, I was able to find a good pattern catching decent fish on a squarebill, and then caught my biggest on a T-Rig and some on a Jig.

Worked the shoreline with this weighted weedless swim bait. Lots of grass and pond weed, but not a problem with this setup.

While most people are throwing a frog in all of the lily pads don’t be afraid to get in there and flip a Texas rig. Flip in any little opening you can see and you’ll get bit.

The water was fairly high so we targeted hard edge banks with at least 3’ of water and some current. It seemed like most of the better bites came off of larger stumps and vertical targets more so that actual laydowns. Most of the fish came on a Bojangles Cook craw which is not available currently on Omnia. We also threw a fighting frog for a few bites. The Shimano Mastiff performed well again today and it really shines in flipping situations.

The fishing was tough, hard to find a quality bite. Had a derby win with 10#. Found most fish out in brush around 12-15 ft of water.

Females had dumped eggs and were staged around weedlines the first offshore structure near spawning areas. Bucks were up shallow guarding fry. Caught several nice fish on a frog early, then caught the rest on a chatterbait and flipping.

There were fry guarders on the edges of mats. You were caching good fish if you didn't have gold flake in your worm, I don't know why. Caught some good fish on the frog most bites came on the pause. Won my tournament with 10.38lbs doing this.

Rough tournament for me. 43rd out of 75 boats. Caught one keeper and multiple short fish with shakey heads and some on wacky rigs. Most fish were spawning or paired up about to spawn.

Caught quite a few back in the canals with the wacky rig. Also got a few off docks with a spinnerbait. West lake seemed to be fishing better than the other lakes that weekend.
