Awesome day on the water with post spawn spinnerbait bite. Several fishing are behind the grass on main lake points with rip rap. Cull though the shorts to get a 16” keeper. As the sun got high the bigger fish were caught in front of the grass in the clearer water. Ended up with 14 keepers best 5 were 16.48. Caught over 40 fish. Lake is health with small non keeper fish but super fun day with that many fish

I love catch bass many different ways but the post spawn grass bites ranks up there with one of my favorites ways to catch them. The Crockogator 1/4oz camo Shakey head paired with the new Crockogator swamp swimmer is already proven it’s.

Awesome time of year to fish kinkaid. These fish are mostly in post spawn phase and I love this time of year when they get in front of that grass line. If you can find the clumps of grass where the grass starts fading the post spawners like to post up and ambush bait traveling by. My main focus is points and water depth 15-18ft. My go to bait is the COG Swamp Swimmer on a 1/4oz Shakey head but this past weekend they preferred it on a Texas rig swimming it. Saw several fish come out of the grass to eat it.

Toads got crushed all morning. Fished in coves along mats and heavy grass adjacent to deeper water. Used a yum finger wacky rig as a follow up and caught a few more after they missed the toad. I imagine a walking/popping frog would’ve worked well too, but covering water was a priority and toads are a presentation which they aren’t used to. Biggest was a bit under 2 pounds
