April 2 2023 was the first tournament of the year at Norton. Ice out was three weeks prior. A could front came through prior to the tournament. there was a morning bite on jerk baits. Fishing was slow. Only a couple of fish were caught and weighed in for 320 hours of fishing. Fish appeared to be scattered in the main lake as none were present in the back of coves. Warmer water should help if the wind would only settle a little

Took home the Win at Keith Sebelius Lake! With the Bassman Spinnerbaits, target areas with flooded brush and timber. all my fish came out of no more than 2ft of water. cast as close as possible to cover even run through some to create reaction strikes. Areas that were exposed to wind created more successs as well.These spinnerbaits were locked in my hands on both days of the tourney and attributed to my win. Both the Spunk Shad and Swimon worked perfectly as trailers and allowed for the right presentation! Tightlines!

The water is warming quickly and the bass are becoming more active. Fish the main lake points off the end of drainages and creeks. Try throwing a lipless crankbait with a yo-yo pattern to get the reaction. As the day warms move back in to the creek and focus shallow with a chatterbait.

With water Temps in the high 40s to low 50s and wind blowing 15 to 20mph focus on the back of creek channels with spinner baits or chatter baits. This will keep you out of the wind plus produce fish. Ned rigs also came into play on the damn once the wind died down.

Water is muddy but dont let it deter you the Bass are still there. Lots of lay downs and water is 3 feet high. Look out for sand bars just under the water. Run your bait just off the bank. Lots of good water to fish, average Bass is 14" and bigger are there. I caught 15 Bass on sat and same for Sunday. Good luck and have fun.

Caught tons of fish slipping brush with a variety of baits. Big Bite Baits BFE, Yamamoto Senko, Strike king Game Hawg, and Zoom Speed Worm did best.
