IT WAS WILD! Had an amazing Tuesday night tournament with 16lbs for 3 fish!! The fish were eating shad and needlefish… was one of the most amazing times fishing I’ve had.

Mid January water temp 60-64. Some signs of bass spawning, but I think the majority haven't yet. When skies were brighter I caught some fish on a dropshot, but when it got cloudy and some wind I switched to the Spro Araku shad and caught a bunch fishing around hydrilla edges.

Bass are staged outside of spawning areas around submerged vegetation in 6-12ft. Cleaner bottoms and small clumps of hydrilla were key this week. Good numbers of bass and some good size ones too on a dropshotted worm.

I found quite a few smaller bass on beds, but caught good numbers and good size off the bank a ways around scattered hydrilla. Caught almost all my fish looking at them on livescope and casting a dropshot right to them.
