On a day they should’ve been eating reaction baits, it seemed like the only place we could get bit were at the ends of deep lay downs or chunk rock that were near current breaks and also changes in bottom composition. I don’t think color was a big deal. They wanted something in there face that they could see in the super stained water.

The girls were chewing today! They were orienting on weed bed edges, Southeast wind (Wind side of pocket). Casted deep (~8feet) and worked it shallow (~4feet). Chopped the glide with quarter reel turns and she bit right around the 5 foot range just past the weed line. Beautiful 5-9!

Spotted structure (sunken old barge pilings) and spotted her suspended amongst the near edge of the pilings. Casted past and burnt then pause, burnt past her and she shot out of the structure on the pause right in front of her. A lot of reaction bites today!

Sunny, calm conditions made for a tough bite. Some fish are moving up to spawn, others still prespawn. Fish were spread out on hard cover and points.

The largemouth were holding tight to the laydowns, they seemed to be relating to the larger ones. I was catching them dead sticking a ned rig in 4-6ft. of water.

Ended up fishing a club tournament and found a good pattern with bass chasing schools of bait. Coupled the spinnerbait with the crankbait to generate all my bites!
