Fishing was slow but fish were up shallow on rock on most of the lake. Chatterbait bite was good. Caught a 9.34 on a jackhammer with 20 pound Shimano Mastiff. I forgot to turn the drag down and the line held up well running the bait through the rocks.

Bass were finally making a push up to the banks in less than 1’ of water. Massive rain fall today and they bit leading into and after each storm cell that passed by. Bought some shimano mastiff 20 pound line after really liking the 14 pound line and it didn’t fail. Lots of fish caught in the local tournament trail today!

With water temps reaching the high 60’s most of the bass are in their full prespawn moods. I like to find water clarity around 1-2ft visibility. This will allow you to go look for beds while allowing you to get nice and close to the fish to cast at them. The bass like to spawn on the bank as well as under docks. when the water fluctuates a lot they will spawn off the bank on rocky flats and rock piles.

Caught fish after the rain in rip rap slow crawling a 3xd from 1’-13’ got bites up closer to the rocks in 1-2’. Shimanek mastiff line worked well to crank with. Upsized the line from 12-14 pounds and was nice to keep the 3xd from diving as deep.
