Picked up some pre-spawn on the afternoon bite at Mooney Reservoir. Bass were in the back of coves looking for areas to spawn. Biggest was around 3lbs and they were hitting the spinnerbait very aggressively. Bass were not spawning but cruising the shallows looking for areas.

Picking up bass on the Stuna Jerkbait. Bass were suspended at around 7-8 below the schools of shad. If you find the shad I would pick up bass under the shad school. I would get aggressive bites when I ripped the bait through the water. They were not hitting the bait on the pause.

Had a big warm up in VA, pushed the big bass into the shallow waters. Caught over 40 Bass on the Booyah spinnerbait in 2-4feet of water around submerged stumps and brush. Biggest bass came in at 7lbs. Most bass were in the 3lb range. Slow rolling the spinnerbait seemed to be about the best technique going. The deeper bass were not committing to other typical winter baits.

Was out the afternoon bite, it was solid 2lb class fish. They were in the back of coves looking for spawning areas. Fish seemed to be looking. Had southwest winds at 10-15mph with a cold front moving through temps scheduled to drop probably delaying the spawn another week.

Fish were moving up on the beds to spawn today. They are spawning in 5-7 feet of water very few are shallower. The water is ultra clear you can see the fish on beds easily in 7 feet of water or pick out the beds from a good distance. We were whacky rigging Jackal Flick Shake and letting it drop down around the beds and they hammered it. Usually one small pump of the rod would generate a reaction strike from the bass. Caught over 40 bass between 2 and 5 pounds.

Great on the lake! Put over 20 bass in the 2-4lb range in 3 hours. The bass are on the beds in 4-6feet of water. Concentrate on the lake flats not steep banks. Flipped the Jackall worm wacky style on the beds letting it fall in the bed and as it hits the bottom I give it a small action jerk, and the bass were slamming it.
