Fish have moved into post spawn conditions. I caught all my bass in 7-10 foot of water on standing brush/stumps/timber on mostly secondary points. The Keitech Easy Shiner was the bait that did it for me, slow presentation. I caught about 10 bass in 2.5 hours with this presentation.

Second day in a row catching post spawn bass off secondary points. Fish were in 8-10 foot of water. Slow presentation with the Keitech Easy Shiner drew the bite. Put about 15 in the boat in 4 hours several in the the 3+ pound range.

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.

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.

Had a very productive day on Lake Mooney. Bass were biting on Top Water early, crushed them on a Rebel Pop R on main lake points. The rest of the bites came off either a Keitech Easy Shiner or the Jackall Flick Shake in 6-10 of water around any type of cover. Overall 15 bass caught biggest was close to 4lbs.

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.

A few hours on Mooney lake today, the bass were in the brush in 3-5feet of water. Hit on the Stunna Jerkbait largest bass right at 5lbs. The bass are really fat and healthy in prespawn shape. Fished the jerk bait rip and pause would hit right after the pause.
