Along with jigs and tubes for back water rip rap we targeted wing damns and sand drops. You could also use a 5inch stick bait. Jerk them up to the edge of of the structure before it drops and kill it at the drop.

Caught more smallmouth than largemouth on a frog today, first time for everything! Targeted them coming out of spawning bays which put a lot of fish under mats and around pads. Frog was the best way to catch them and made for a super fun bite.

Laydowns
Fish were tight to lay downs and old grass, fishing a Texas rig was the best way to effectively get fish out of the cover. Having a rod with a light tip and a lot of backbone was crucial, the 7’3 H Victory is perfect for this. Paired with 18lb sunline this was the perfect light flipping setup.

La Crosse unlike many lakes during the spring can be tuff to figure out. Although if you spend enough time down there you will find patterns that work better than others. Submerged shallow grass can allows play, this time of the year in piacular it is fire. You should find a mix of smallmouth and largemouth. If the quality sized fish aren't there right away, I would move on until you find quality. The big fish like to group up!
