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.

Burning that little john right against the base of standing timber anywhere from 0-12’ focusing mainly from 4’-8’ and being most successful in that range. Pauses right at the stump also produced periodically. Drop shot along the timber when bite windows shut off also produced. Timber & other general structure were a big player
