As always caught several fish but most of them are 12”-14”. Did end up with decent bag. Had a 3.15 and 2.75 with 5 totaling 10.30. Fish are starting to move up on beds. Caught most on transition banks with lay downs. Bug and senko on trees and shakey head down the bank.

New lake for us but productive. Weather was not favorable at all. Rain most all of the day, heavy at times. Heavy overcast the entire day. Air temperature was around 58 all day. In a 6 hour span, we caught 16 largemouth of various size. Most (and the larger ones) were caught on rip rap with a lipless crankbait. We had some success with a green pumpkin tube on a jig head. Also, some success on a green pumpkin Senko, wacky rigged on a drop shot around laydowns. Overall, just look for the "fishy" looking spots for fishing a river and be slow, thorough and persistent.

Fishing shakey heads and Ned rigs on rock banks that had some deeper water leading to spawning areas is producing bites. Don’t be afraid to fish out into 12-15 feet. Caught some bigger ones out off bank in deeper water. Weather is warming up so may push some shallow as well.

Caught 3 keepers and 4 non keepers along a 150-yard stretch. spent the afternoon in one cove and caught 4 more keepers with the Senko. Caught 2 largest fish with a Strike King Popping perch in 2 feet of water in the back of the cove and lost 2 more.

A lot of the bass I found were suspended 5-10' off the bottom in areas 25-30' of water. Slowing rolling an A-Rig by them was the key to getting bites.
