Fishing the large hump near the bride was location that produced the only fish of the outing. Slow rolling a Duo Realis spin bait was the ticket.

Fished Little Seneca Lake for a few hours after our club tournament was canceled due to high winds and a small craft advisory on the Potomac River. The bite was slow, but we found a couple fish, including this beauty. Fish are still in pre-spawn mode as a result of recent heavy rain and colder than normal temperatures over the past couple weeks. Water temperatures have not risen out of the upper 40s and low 50s in most areas, so the spawn is still to come.

fishing was tough. bass were glued to grass edges in 15-20 feet. had to throw baits into the grass and very slowly work it out. small twitches and long pauses helped. drop shot also worked in darker colors.

fish were located on deep grass edges. working the bait slowly was key. small twitches worked best. grass near stumps, trees, rock seemed to produce best. bite was slow but steady throughout the day
