The bass are up shallow and spawning, now's the time to find those flats and spawning areas searching for fish on or around beds. My favorite techniques this time of year are to drag a carolina or texas rig with a lizard imitation around the beds. You will likely be in shallow water, so a smaller weight to give it a slow, natural presentation works best.
