As the water keeps getting warmer the bass are going to be moving shallow. Found this bass under a dock and it was a great fight! Flipped a bandito bug on a free rig. New technique and I like it!

Caught 6 bass over 3.5 lbs. 2 over 4. None of the fish were on Beds but just hanging close to them. This Fish was off a ledge and I think still in the prespawn. No spawning marks on Fish. Beautiful in fact. Lake has turned over with the extreme change from cold to hot Weather temps. Fish are very skitterish therefore we were long casting to them instead of short pitches on top of them.

Could not locate any Fish on Beds. Caught this one in close proximity, holding in the vegetation growing around the hump. Utilized a Z-Man Micro Skirt jig head with a Minnowz (the deal). Not in List

Only caught this one. The water temp is just getting warm enough they are starting to migrate to the beds. Couple of weeks the fishing should be on fire.

Fished brush and any wood that was in 5-6 feet of water. Getting a reaction to cause a strike was the key to getting some of the bigger bites.

It’s springtime, and even through the water did still very cold, these fish are hitting the red hard. The Fire Craw CrossEyeZ works great with a Hog Farmer trailer. Just chuck and wind in 2’-8’ of water. The new Mastiff line casts like a dream, so you can get that lure way out there!

These largemouth had just begun to move up shallow. This War Eagle with a Keitech combo work great. I used the new Shimano Mastiff fluorocarbon, and it worked great. Just slow roll it through the weeds near laydowns. The bass hit hard, and were choking the spinnerbait.

Hot day on the water! Water temp is rising and the fish are hiding under docks and in cover. Caught most of our fish under docks. Also went with black/blue because of the water clarity.

All over the place as far as baits go. Went through the whole box and caught one or two fish on everything. Surprisingly fewer hits around all the dead wood on the far side of the lake. Also pretty interesting how skinny the bass were, example in the pic.

Definitely a recommended soft plastic for a lot of vibration. Especially with the long legs lotsss of action.

The Magdraft is just so versatile. Just cast and retrieve at a slow speed. Just set the hook when you feel a bass bump it. It works so well. Use it near rocks, humps, or weeds.
