Pre-Spawn largies love a little bitsy bug on easter! Gout out for about 30 minutes and made quick work on this shallow water chunk!

Pre spawn bite is on big time right now! Most fish caught were on stumps in the sun around 3-6’ of water. Saw plenty of fish cruising the bank and even caught a few up shallow next to it. All baits came off a weedless ned (Venomlures.vom DK rig) and a Zman Hula (the deal). They’re bulking up and baitfish colors/imitators are the way to go right now!

Was a tough bite and sure enough the wacky rig did its job. Used a 1/0 hook and Yamamoto senko in the pads and mage’s to get this nice bass
