The bass have finally made their way up to their spawning areas and my usual go to, the strike king rage bug has the ticket again. This is without question, my favorite time of year. I'm looking forward to more productive outings in the weeks to come.

It was a typical post spawn day of fishing when the wacky rigged senko was can't miss. Some were caught flipping and dropshotting also but the wacky rigged Berkley maxscent general was the dominant presentation. Nothing real big was caught as it mostly 1-2 pounders but there were a few solid ones pushing 3 pounds caught and of course a couple of even bigger ones that were unfortunately lost during battle but hey, that's fishing. All in all it was a non stop day of fun.

The spawn was on and I came across some big girls that were sitting on beds. Didn't spend a lot of time trying to entice them but did manage to get several males pitching a rage bug and throwing a wacky rigged senko. Did manage to pick off this 3.5 pounder that I assume wasn't ready to spawn yet. Was a fun day all in all.
