Where have you caught them so far?

I'm lucky enough to not have to deal with "hard" water.  My fishing year is 5 months old.   

My first Bass of 2024 was a 3 pound Spot caught in 30 feet of water off a rocky point.   This was on January 7.  My first 5 pound Bass(5.04) of 2024 was a day later, under a dock walkway hugging the pilling.  It was in 2 feet of water.  The rest of my 2024 Bass have been somewhere between the type areas these 2 were in.    Lay downs have been productive for me so far this year.   Most of my bigger Bass for this year have came from lay downs.   There's a good bit of pressure in the waters I fish, but most people just fish around the lay downs.  The big Bass are in them.   Spinnerbaits and Wacky rigs have been responsible for most of my bigger Bass.  I've also caught decent numbers on Shaky heads, cranks, buzz baits, and a couple on a Devils Horse.
