Ok, I went out to this lake Last Sunday on a buzzbait and caught 6, all on a buzzbait. Then I went today and worked my way up to the spot, its a small cove-like place right off the main lake, and threw several different topwaters and caught at least 12 of the 15 bass I caught today at that spot on Bright pink trick worms ( 1), Baby Pop-R (lost count how many), and caugt SEVERAL on a River2sea Tango prop as well as a KVD bluegill colored Sexy dawg in the spot, Most of my fish were 10-13 inches, But got 2 that were in the 1.5 to 2 pound range that were just covered in black spots, It looked like the bluegill had just finished spawning, there were a few bluegill left spawning though. This spot was no more than 1.5 feet deep and had some submerged logs. The bigger of the bass I caught had a pot belly stomach and I saw a TINY bluegill or pumpkinseed tail sticking out slightly from its gullet. My question is, how long will this spot hold up? Most of the fish caught were real light colored, none were to dark

Is it a big body of water or a pond? That is probably one of the biggest influencing factors on if they'll stay or not. Is there deeper water in this cove? If there's deep water nearby and plenty of food and cover they'll probably stay there all summer and fall.

If the fish are real white they probably just moved up. I'm sure they would be darker colored in that water if they had been there for a while. If they are moving up, more fish will be behind them.

Good Luck!

Basslover12345, if we knew where you live we can give you better input.

The bass will start to get darker green as they move up from their winter depths into shallow water to feed and spawn.

After the spawn, the bass will 1) migrate to deeper water; 2) swim around the body of water in their "milk run" visiting the same spots within a mile or mile and a half area; or 3) hang around specific spots that are close to deeper water.

The location you described should hold fish during the spring, summer and fall. You do not want to overfish the area. Give the bass time to return to the spot.

AND NEVER, NEVER, NEVER TELL YOUR FRIENDS OR OTHERS ABOUT THE SPOT. IT IS YOUR SECRET LOCATION AND KEEP IT THAT WAY.

Please add your geographical location or city to your information so we can give you better suggestions and advice.

I'm in MD, Its a pretty HUGE lake, not a reservor, but not a pond. None of the fish I've caught from there have had bloody tails or any signs of spawning, yet, I'm told the spawn is over, the water temp is at least in the 70s I think, Right infront, and adjacent to the cove you can hit the mai lake

Spawn is over in Maryland for bass.

Bluegills and Crappie will spawn after the bass.

With the water temperature in the 70's the bass are going to start to be active and feed.

Watch for them sunning themselves along the shoreline in shallow water. If you can see them, they can see you, so walk about 50 feet from the shoreline or if you see one back off and pitch to it with your plastics from as far back as possible.

If you can swing a raft and a paddle, along with a PFD you can paddle out into the lake and fish back to the shore or try to find some underwater structure or drop offs.

Have fun and let us know how you do this summer.

How many days should I let the spot rest, went today and could only pluck one 10 incher off it on a dog walking bait

Fishing the spot, 3 out of 4 days, you gotta expect you'll only catch 1 tiny one. Give it a week or so, and it should be good
