    Grass is emerging from the banks and the bass are in there, as usual. We were throwing Bizz Baits Sassy Stick 4" Junebug and they were smacking those. Also throwing a 4" Junebug grub and they liked that too. Just throwing to the edge of the grass, let it sit a bit, small pop of the bait.

      Shad

    The topwater bite was on this weekend! With the overcast conditions the Shad were high in the water column. With a nice breeze the conditions set up perfect for topwater, tied on a Zara Spook & whacked em!

      Shad

    Been catching crappie, trolling the creek channel. Fishing has been tough this winter, with the shad kill from these cold water temps. they've been eating good! Not a quantity day, but the quality of the fish have been amazing!

      Shad

    Before the water got too muddy. We had a field day chasing these little guys off drop offs and out of brush piles! No giants but managed a few decent ones 13” & 14”. You had to suspend the bait almost completely still for a bite and it took some time for them to commit. But great day
