Water is very murky and muddy. I had the most success reeling at a steady pace, just keeping contact with the bottom, with a short pause after contact with a rock or stump. Almost like you would fish a crankbait.

Water had come up to 52 degrees so I targeted main lake and secondary points hoping they had moved up a little bit. Caught 4 in 3 1/2 hours all on main lake points.

Very few boats on High Rock yesterday and everyone seemed to have modest luck after a weekend cold front. Water remains 54-56 degrees and fairly stained. The baitfish I found remain in at least 10-12 feet of water. My one bite was on a shallow rock pile in a major creek on a Jackall TN70 Lipless Crankbait in Crawfish. Luckily, it was a 6 lb 10 oz High Rock PB.

Last Wednesday I went to High Rock lake to practice for the qckbf tournament I had yesterday. Practice started out really slow, losing my first two bites. But those bites gave me the confidence to throw my favorite technique, a jerkbait. After those two bites, I put the jerkbait away. I tried to find a other technique or two to compliment what I had already found. Not finding the compliment ended up being my downfall during the tourney. I decided to throw the jerkbait down a really good staging area. First two casts, nothing. During the retrieve of the third cast, I thought I got hung. Until it started swimming. After a stressful battle, my net less self was able to get her close enough to grab. All I could say was oh my god over and over. I’ve never seen a bass like this in person, let alone catch one. All said and done, she measured 22” long, almost 20” around and 8.25 pounds. I also caught a 21” pre spawn giant, and a 18.75” pre spawn.
