Pitching a Texas rigged Hula Stik around spawning areas. I like to use a really small weight and a straight shank flipping hook. It seems to have a better landing percentage than an EWG. I think the elaztech bunches up on the EWG hooks.

This past weekend 4/16 I ran all the way up the south grand near Clinton. I found a very large school of bass staging on a secondary point with stumps in about 8 ft of water. The stumps were topping out at about 3-5 under the water although the depth was 8 ft I was able to effectively make contact with the stumps with my squarebill eliciting a strong reaction bite. In this section of the lake, it is very easy to repeat this pattern, and I did so for the remainder of my day. Look for points that have timber that is not sticking out of the water, and there will likely be a good amount of bass in the area.

Males were staging off chunk rock shoreline with ledges. Smaller fish were high on the ledge at rock to bottom transitions. The larger males and occasional females were tucked next to trees and stumps just outside the ledges in 6 to 15 for. Easily catching 20+ fish a day. The bite was strongest at mid-morning.
