Covered lots of water in a large creek mid lake. Water temp was 57 in the morning and up to 63 by late afternoon. Lots of small bass are up shallow in spawning areas adjacent to deeper water. We had to sort through the small ones to scratch out decent keepers. The larger fish seemed to be buried in wood cover, possibly due to the recent front that moved through.

On this day, I targeted submerged timber on transition areas in front of shallow flats off the main lake. Medium retrieve speeds with the occasional long pause. I looked for softer bottom areas with sand/mud. 6-10ft was where I found them stacked but I would catch the occasional fish moving up onto the flat. Wind was moderate and variable (5-10 mph NW) with blue bird skies. Outside temp was in the upper 50’s.
