Fish were pretty hit or miss today, but fish we did catch came off rock piles in 10-12 feet of water.

Still able to find some big schools of pre-spawn largemouth in the middle reefs of the lake. The wind and current seems to be what is positioning these fish as they moved around throughout the day according to the wind direction. Most of or fish came on an aggressively worked jerkbait, but we were also able to slow down and pick up additional fish with a tube once the school was found. - Ben Nelson

Look for bedding smallmouth around protected areas of the lake. Any decent sized flat with sand/gravel and scattered boulders were the most productive. Look for the largest fish to make their beds right next to the biggest boulders in the area! Ned Rigs have been the most effective. - Ben Nelson

Largemouth are starting to spawn with some prespawners biting moving baits pretty well.

Soft and hard jerk baits on shallow flats adjacent to deep-breaks produce consistently for both numbers and size. I rig a Zoom Fluke and super fluke on a VMC HD Wide Gap hook (3/0 or 4/0) on a Dobyn's Champion XP 683 SF spinning rod with a Daiwa Fuego 3000. My hard jerk baits vary in brands but I primarily throw MegaBass Vision 110s this time of year on a Dobyn's Sierra 683C casting rod with Tatula SV TW 103. Varied retrieves work depending on mood of the fish and conditions.

The Smallmouth were still on bed so we were able to just cruse and hunt them.

Fished my first Greenhorn Event ever out here. We got 2nd out of 25. We sight fished them all 8 hours on beds. Covering water is the biggest thing when you are doing this. A maxscent lil general is my favorite ned rig bait and that color works so well. Especially for bed fishing cause that white helps you see your bait so much better. And outkast just simply makes the best ned heads in the game.
