Fished some bluff style banks with standing timber. The fish were right up on the bank on the steeper walls. Scoping with a vision 110 plus one jr was also a great way to get bit. Me and my tournament partner cycled through a ton of baits but the paddle tail and jerk bait were the most successful. The paddle tail had to be bumped along the bottom to generate bites and it produced better quality than the jerk bait. We also ran into some nice smallies on the paddle tail.

Been having some good trips on Stockton if you are going up the river a jig and a spinnerbait is all you need. If you are fishing more of the mid to main lake megabass and a jig have been working with a few fish being caught on an arig and Crankbait. Go out and have fun and enjoy some spring fishing 🎣

I started the day targeting shallow wood with a half ounce jig. I got a couple of bites all coming on the fall, this prompted me to pick up the Fat Ika and back glide it. I went back through the areas I got bit on the jig, and began to pick off fish in just about every other laydown I fished. The shallow wood bite is on. Stay in the southern river arms if you're looking to catch better-sized largemouth as the water is more stained and slightly warmer. As you can see from the picture, I was fishing very shallow. Also, if you dip the tube-like appendages in chartreuse it seems to make a difference.
