The fish were sitting in 8-12ft of water, and they would only bit the strike king finesse football jig in a 1/4. We tried several other jigs that were a little larger, but with all the pressure on the lake at this time, the finesse techniques were the only ones to land the fish in the boat! Caught several bass that weighed in between 3-3.5 LBs

A few days of sunshine in a row seemed to have them moving up shallow to get some warmer water and chase baitfish. Rocky flats had some mostly 12"-13" fish in the skinny water, while the better ones I caught came off the drop-offs near there. Found a couple holding on brush piles and brought those in with the finesse jig/craw combo. With the water level up right now and warmer weather this week, I'd look for them to get up on more sunny chunk rock for pre-spawn.

Finesse jig was still the bait of choice( Threw spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, full-size jigs, and a shakeyhead as well). They are staging off the bank a little bit chasing bluegills that are on bed. Didn't catch anything of real size.

Was a tough bite and sure enough the wacky rig did its job. Used a 1/0 hook and Yamamoto senko in the pads and mage’s to get this nice bass

Dragging a worm may not seem exciting but you can't argue with the results. This 6 Lb 2 oz largemouth wouldn't have gone for a smaller bait.

Found ledges/dropouts in Mississippi back water pools. Dragging the megabass sleeper craw in a muddy copper was getting it done. As soon as it hit that drop off you were getting bit. Got me 2nd place in my Tuesday nighter.

Lots of gung, high thick weeds, fish can be doing under socks, if you can get to them.

Awesome day on the water with post spawn spinnerbait bite. Several fishing are behind the grass on main lake points with rip rap. Cull though the shorts to get a 16” keeper. As the sun got high the bigger fish were caught in front of the grass in the clearer water. Ended up with 14 keepers best 5 were 16.48. Caught over 40 fish. Lake is health with small non keeper fish but super fun day with that many fish
