Caught some good top water action walking a spook. Had a giant blow up on me right off the bat, right next tot he boat that scared the crud out of me and I jerked too soon. After that I was able to slow down and stick about 6-7 decent fish. Over the top of hydrilla in less than 10 feet depth. Be sure to change your hooks on all your top water and crankbaits to the triple grip hooks. I rarely lose a fish with those hooks. They really are the best for any bait that has treble hooks. The braided line was huge as well as some fish would drag it down into the grass, but with the braid and the triple grips I did not lose any but that first one.

The early morning top water bite has been great. They are smashing the baits when they are sitting still. Work it subtly and then let it sit. Fun times. As the day goes on you will have to slow down. We did well with weightless Senko's.

Caught a lot of smaller fish on a spinnerbait but slowed down with a weightless senko and caught better fish as the day went on. They were on the outside edges of the buck brush.

There is a strong afternoon bite on main lake points with hard bottoms. See the fish on livescope in 3-5 ft of water moving across the flatter section of the point. Better points have deep water access and timber near by.

Although the season automatically defaults to post-spawn, many fish are actually still pre-spawn. I caught all my fish in the tail of drains in the back of the creek. Bucks and Females were separated, bucks about 200-300 yards further along than the females, closer to the actual flat. Due to the cold weather, fish were relating to the drain itself, the grass edges, and the last pieces of standing timber. These last pieces of timber were where the bigger fish were located.

Went out looking for bedding bass, stayed on the South end of the lake and worked some docks I haven't fished in a while. Caught 3 keepers over 16", but all of them were gorged on small 2" long minnows. Everyone I put in the boat were spitting them up.

Eighty percent of my catches this week came on a 3/32-ounce Neko rig (Red Bug). I caught a couple on an off-white jerkbait, too, but I had confidence in the Neko in the (slightly stained) water. Putting my bait in front of as many fish as possible was the key to success and I had to make slight adjustments each day to trigger bites from the best quality-sized fish in my areas. On day 1 with the cloudier conditions, the fish were locked to the bottom, whereas the sunnier and calmer conditions on day 2 had them just mere inches below the surface.

Pitched the worm into grass onto beds, and caught a few. They were very stubborn though.

Cast to the up wind side of the trees and move bait slowly using the count down method so the bait falls back to the bottom . Look for any line movement or different feeling of the bait.
