I was using the 110 megabass Jerk bait in some shallow water. I didn’t catch much but the bass are starting to bite a lot better. Just find the warmest water on the lake and you’ll find fish. Try to find some rock too because that’s going to be the warmest when the sun shines!

I was fishing Fond du lac area yesterday in the winds and manage to hook up into some bass! They were all nice quality and thick fish. I was throwing a Z MAN hot craw chatter bait with a keitech as a trailer and they were straight smashing them! I also had a few bites on a 110 megabass jerkbait! I was also just on shore fishing. Goodluck and tightlines!

Emergent vegetation in shallow backwater fishing around docks and shoreline wood. Only saw one bed used a Black Zoom lizard to catch bass Most bites came in open water as bass would chase the topwater. Fished the jig around seawalls and docks.
