I was fishing shallow and trying out a chatterbait, when I caught three fish on three consecutive casts. They were up shallow in very muddy water after the rain. They were extremely aggressive, and the third of these fish was this 4lb largemouth.

Really tough bite on the water today. After a cold front and tons rain, the fish moved deeper and the water was extremely muddy. As a bank fisherman, these conditions made it difficult to find the fish. The weather was nice, so it was still great to be outside. Caught this crappie on a jerkbait, which seems to always elicit strikes.

Took my daughter out fishing on a little spillway pond off of Falls Lake. She caught several good sized bluegill, so we decided to throw one on a circle hook and drop it straight down under the dock. These fish have been known to not hit artificial lures, but they'll eat hotdogs, live bait, and catfish bait. After about 5 minutes of waiting, the line started screaming off the reel and the rod was bent over in half. We pulled in this beautiful 3.5 pound largemouth.

Had a really tough time getting bites, but found a small school of little bass and decided to throw a small underspin to see if a big one was around them. I caught one small bass, but it was definitely a tough day. Bluebird skies didn't help, but at least it was warm.

Threw a glide bait for the first time today and got a bite right away. The fish are getting fat for the spawn, so I like to use either small baits or large baits, not too much in between. Fishing has been great the past few days, so get out and fish!

Caught this 6.5 lb bass on a small topwater walking bait close to the bank. She was hiding under the trees and came up to crush the bait. Fish are definitely in full on pre-spawn mode. They're also loving the underspin with a keitech swimbait trailer.

The fish were absolutely destroying the underspin today. I caught 2 crappie and 3 largemouth next to a dam. Get out and enjoy the beautiful weather!

Had a tough time getting bites today, but when the wind started blowing, the fish came out to play. Caught a couple bass on an underspin and a crappie on topwater.
