Most fish were being caught off of structure/weed edges using a suspending or slow sinking jerkbait. Fairly slow and should heat up in the coming weeks as the temps start to rise

Laydowns
During the Post-Spawn the bass stay in the shallows and guard fry before moving to their summer locations. The best techniques are finesse baits worked up near the shoreline. I throw a wacky rig, a ned rig, and a popper most of the time. The bast areas are the same ones you found the bass in during the spawn.
