Spotted and largemouth bass: The lake is still at winter pool (50-52*), so structure is key. Fallen trees/brush is scarce but still holds fish. The docks and marinas are also showing fish as they stage for the spawn. Presentation has to be slow and small/medium. This week, I’ve been using lighter Ned jigs with Googan Rattlin Ned worms to good effect. Go slowly and thoroughly work an area before moving on.
