The bass were hanging in the tops of submerged trees and brush in the mouths of coves. The trees were in 20 plus feet of water, but the tops were around to feet underwater. The jerkbait was bringing them up. It was a 2 jerk, 1-2 second pause. I was spotting them with my Livescope and then fan casting the area.

Water temp 55 degrees. Found fish around reefs and rock piles for dropshot. Towards the afternoon bass moved up into the brush and trees where shade colored square bill was key.

The water has come up with snow melt and the water temps dropped from over 60 degrees to the mid to high 50’s. The bass have moved into heavy cover in flooded trees and bushes. They weren’t hitting reaction baits so we switched to Texas rigged worms on a 3/16 ounce weight. We were throwing into flooded trees and next to bushes on hard cover and gravel bottom in the middle to the backs of coves. The bass we got were in 3-8’ of water. The water is pretty stained mid lake where we fished so we were throwing darker colors. Both river ends were chocolate milk and so we stayed mid lake.

Drop Shot with the Smallie Smasher was king in 17 to 20’ of water on the bigger girls. Caught a nice female and a couple of nice males shallower on the A-Rig over brush casting toward the bank. Off points the Megabass vision Jr +1 worked well getting it down just over the rock near boulders.

Texas rig worms, creature baits are doing very well. Wacky Rig did catch some fish but the curly tail trick worm type baits did the majority of the work. Early morning and Mid Day were the key times in our trip. Water clarity is dirty. With little visibility. Our fish were actually caught in the dirtiest parts of the lake.

The bass were on the chunk rock banks on the outside of the pocket around submerged brush. We were fishing parallel to the bank and casting to the bank and working out to 20’ off of the bank. The bass were pretty active and we were still cranking pretty quickly. The DT6 was the best performer followed by the Berkley Dime. Craw patterns were the best that we threw.
