As of April 10th, the current water temp is hovering around 54 degrees. The afternoon bite (4pm-6pm) was fast and furious, a Rayburn Red Cordell Super Spot, 3” was the key to a two hour, 5 bag limit. Bass are staging and stacked up on drop offs getting ready to move up to the shallows to spawn. Slow roll a trap or jig up the drop off towards your boat. Tip: Keep your bait in the water as long as possible; fish will follow your bait to the boat and strike at the last second. If a fish misses, erratically move your bait and they’ll hit again.

Had over a dozen Largemouth in the boat! Took a bit of time to figure it out. Just started to drop shot on this lake and had great results! Damiki pulled in Large and rockies. And the wacky killed in shallow!

As I made a mistake in my last report on the water temp I made sure it was correct this time. Had a blast in the back end of mannings cove, in shallow water, with the frogs. Found some fish spawning, along with males on beds, and a bed being ravished by a bullhead and sunfish. Fished that for 3 hours in the early morning hours, then went out to some rock piles and deep weedlines.

The bass were hitting wacky rigged green pumpkin Senkos in 6 to 8 feet of water. I fished out of a kayak as I'm visiting my in-laws.
