Water temperature was 57 degrees in the morning and 60 degrees by the end of the day. Bass were schooling in 4-7’ of water. Cranking the hybrid hunter along the bank ripping it through the submerged vegetation doing so as fast as possible to get a reaction bite from the schooling bass. When they slowed down in the schools I worked the robo worm along the submerged grass edges in 6-9’ of water this as a consistent bite throughout the day.

Crappie
Jigging brush piles in 20’-25’ of water jigging them down and then up with a pause before dropping it back down. Keeping 10’ away from the brush piles keeps them from getting spooked especially with spot locked trolling motors.

Searching out submerged vegetation in 8’-15’ of water tossing a drop shot in the Vegetation and super slowly dragging it out and letting it soak after every twitch. The bass are super finicky right now they are barely hit the bait so a lot of the times you won’t feel it so be ready once the bait is on the fall.
