Fished the late prespawn just before female bass were pulling up to join males on beds. Worked t-rigged 3.3 paddletail swimbait on a 1/8 oz offset finesse or darter jighead along edge of creek channel adjacent to spawning area. After catching a couple of good, solid bass, a large shadow closed in on swimbait as it came into view. Luckily I didn't panic, kept retrieve steady with slight pulse and the bait suddenly stopped when the big gal in the pic decided to say hello!

A favorite presentation/bait once water reaches 50 deg ... working 1/2 black (or black with other colors) single blade spinnerbait with trailer over, through or around patches of submerged vegetation especially in low light conditions. Vary retrieve (slow roll, pulsed, yo-yo) and let the bass tell you what they want. This one wanted a slow-rolled spinnerbait, popping the bait through grass when it made contact. Have a follow-up bait like a t-rigged senko for short strikes.
