Bluegill
With this "Lake" being more of a pond rather than a lake, the bass main forage is bluegill. I was targeting points and pockets, managed to hookup with a few. The largest being just shy of 3lbs.

While the bass haven't quite moved up shallow, they are staring to chase bait. i had more luck downsizing from a standard Jackhammer and 4"+ trailer. Fishing from the bank, I was casting about 75'+ outside of a corner pocket and got all of my bites in the first 5 or so turns of the reel. Landed 2 decent size bass(3lbs or so) in about 20 minutes.

With the water temps starting to come down the fish are staring to transition more shallow and are targeting this years bait spawn. Since this a smaller body of water, the transition is a little further along than what the Chain is. The reduced size of the JR. vs the full size matches the size of the bait better. I am targeting pockets, points, current breaks, and looking for where shad bust on the surface and target casting. Intermittent pauses and varying walking speeds can cause a fish that would otherwise follow to react and strike.

Was fishing a silt bottom with a ton of snot grass on the bottom SO i wasn't grinding the squarebill on the bottom like normal. I would burn it, and the kill the retrieve, or would pop the rod tip 12-16in during the retrieve in an attempt to create a "deflection" similar to what you would get deflecting it off a rock. Caught 3 bass in a rather short time. Largest at about 2lbs

Water temps were still pretty cold, tried to force some moving baits but found the most success yo-yo-ing a blade bait off of points in deeper water.

Targeting rocky rip rap banks. The water is too cold for spawning, but the fiah are definetly moving up. I was slowly dragging the jig along the rocks. The lighter the jig, the better. I was utilizing a BFS setup casting a 1/8 oz jig. Caught probably 20+ bass with most being in the 1lb range, a handful of 2-3lbers and the 5lber in the photo. Was a great fight on the bfs setup!

The finesse jig is still working. I haven't seen any beds yet for early spawners, but the fish are most definitely up shallow. I only had about 4 hours to fish and boated around 10 or so bass. Most being in the 1-1.5lb range and a couple that were 2lbs or so +. The weeds are starting to grow up so casting the the bank and dragging it up to the weedline is what yielded the most bites.
