Speed walking a frog over matted grass then pausing over any type of pockets in the grass gets you lots of good bites. Follow up missed blowups with some sort of stickbait

The spawn is on all the bass’s minds with a warming trend in the end of February. None are spawning yet but they are as pre spawn as they get. Largemouth are relating to warm shallow bays with good grass. Spots seem to be on the main river on bars. Catching spots in a damiki rig and largemouth on a swim jig.

Swim jig bite has been slow recently. The warm weather has helped it but it’s getting cold again for a few days. Looking forward to the next warm up.

Schools of spotted bass moving out to main lake points for summer patterns. A small swimbait will also get bit.

Covering water with the swim jig to locate fish. Slowed way down when I saw signs of life and switched to the flipping jig. I fished miles of bank grass to find the fish I weighed. Boating each bite was key to making a top ten.

I was catching spotted bass using the moping or dimiki rig technique in 8-22ft of water on main river ledges. I expected to catch largemouth up shallow in the grass for this event, but that never materialized for me in the tournament. I ended up weighing all 15 of my fish this week using the moping technique. In the morning the fish would be up on top of the ledge in 6-8ft chasing bait. As the day went on they would set up deeper and chase balls of bait off the edge of the ledge. They were very difficult to get to bite besides a few flurries every so often. If you could land your lure in the middle of a ball of bait while the spots were feeding you had a better chance to catch them. They move super fast when they’re feeding so it took the perfect set of circumstances to get your bait in the middle of a feeding frenzy. I used the 1/8oz head when the fish were finicky and I need to almost float the bait down to them. I used the 1/4oz head when they were more actively feeding. Fun way to fish!

Bite was really tough in the cold weather. Water temp was dropping. No luck on any moving baits to speak of. Did catch some on a ball head jig on some wood.
