Bluebird skies, high pressure had the bite pretty difficult to come by; after trying several different techniques with little no success I switched things up pulling out a trench hawg but putting it on a light Owner twist lock hook and threw to areas shaded by the shore line foliage on cypress trees out in the water. This 4 3/4# chunk hit my creature bait on the fall in less than two feet of water. I had it tied on to 8# Shimano Mastiff flouro-carbon that has done great in handling big bass for me, with very little stretch it is easy to control the fish.

Up and down water temp and pressure had fish scattered today so went finesse with shaky head tied to 8# mastiff fluorocarbon and worked clumps of cypress trees that were in 3-5’ water. A slow hop followed by a long pause was the best way to get them to bite today.

Fished points early for spotted bass with a #5 shadrap in Caribbean shad. Once sun was high moved to docks and laydowns for largemouth bite. Fish had spawned only caught bucks saw lots of small fry up shallow mid lake.

It was tough sledding this morning, trying to locate fish. The water was muddier than usual and spawning beds were difficult to spot. In the afternoon, more fish were moving and we could locate beds in shallow spots. Both the spinnerbait and chatterbait were effective, but the bites had more purchase on the spinnerbait, right over the top of beds.

Reds and oranges were the key for our group - I caught several on the same Lava Craw Z-Man Chatterbait Elite EVO, including a couple pre-spawn females. The best size were up shallow but we found groups running the first drop off in about 5 feet of water, 10-20yd off the bank.

Put in at the Hatchery and worked the canal primarily. Two colder nights and bluebird skies coupled with rising high pressure had the fish deeper and hold to the edges of emerging lily pad fields. Had one hook up on a wacky rig but the Texas rigged worm slowly drug on the bottom with a occasional hop drew the bites today.

Put in a cathead landing in Eutawville and started with throwing chatterbaits and spinner baits along docks; got one hit on a spinner bait when I let it stop and fall for a moment. This led me to change tactics; to slow down and work a large Texas rigged worm off the bottom at the base of cypress trees and fallen timber. I started getting bites in areas where the water was at least 4' deep or more.
