The fish were all up shallow chasing bait, they were slamming the Jackhammer left and right. They were on reaction so don’t be hesitant to move the blade fast. The single warm days work the best!

Shad
These Fox Chain largemouth wanted a SLOW rolled spinnerbait right before the spawn. Weather was odd with on and off rain and the occasional thunderstorm. The Bass were pretty scattered with the overcast conditions and could be found in lay downs, off riprap, and near grass. I was using a Booyah but any White, Double Willow spinnerbait would have worked well to imitate Shad.

Docks
During early spring tournaments I targeted docks and pilings for largemouth. They primarily held on the sunny pieces of cover where they could absorb some warmth. I was pitching around a Rage Menace, Texas Rigged on a 3/0 EWG, with a lighter 1/4 oz bullet weight.

The nicer one came on a dragging Ned rig on the pause. They were very lethargic. The smaller one came on a lipless crank ripping out of the grass.

You might be looking at this saying that this report must be a mistake but I’m telling you the walleye are up really shallow! I caught this 24” while pitching a Spinnerbait for bass in pad stalks!

I caught every keeper besides one on a spinnerbait. Biggest bass was 5.17 lbs for my PB! Any and all cover was the focus. We also caught one on a lipless and a couple on the Chatterbait.

Docks
We targeted docks and submerged weedbeds mainly. I was able to pick one up on a Rat-L-Trap early on ripping out of grass. The better fish were on chatterbaits and spinnerbaits. The fish are really sensitive to the weather changes and switch patterns every other day it seems like.
