No topwater yet, and still pre-spawn here.

We’re struggling to get into pre spawn.  Last week the river was 57 degrees.  At night it has gotten back down into the mid 30’s the last 3 nights.  So I don’t expect to warm much  unless this rain has helped get the temp up. 

 

1) Devine swim bait on 1/4 swim jig

2) cranks 

3) chatter bait 

Texas Rigged weightless White Senko 1/4" of tail dipped in chartreuse.

 

Texas Rigged White Speed Craw, claws dipped in chartreuse, 3/16 bullet weight, reeled 2" under the surface.

Spinnerbait

Just about to be spawn here. I haven’t got my boat out of storage yet, but I’ve been having a blast bank fishing. Most successful so far with:

- wacky rig senko (cinnamon and green pumpkin red flake colors)

- finesse jig (natural colors)

- Ned rig (especially when fishing the rivers)

 

Right now one is out doing the rest...NED.  Yesterday my neighbor and I had 45 bass in 3 hours with 9 nice keepers.  All were caught on Ned.  We also used swimbaits and spinnerbaits...0.

Ive only been once in a boat and caught twenty something on a spinnerbait . I have stopped at some irrigation culverts and caught a few on Beetle spins and crappie jigs .
