Saw several bass spawning around my dock today, something the book says they should have done 3 months ago. I’d guess the water temp is in the mid 80s right there, we are back in a creek arm that is always warmer than the main channel. You can see the bigger bass to the right of the lighter bottom area and two other ones rush in a few seconds later. If you’re wondering, I did throw a jointed glide/swim bait over there and it followed it and stared . Then I tried a plastic worm and it bolted away so I quit trying after two casts 😂

I also saw another bass on the left side of the dock that was bigger, maybe 3 lbs, that chased my worm a bit but wouldn’t eat it

I can't believe you didn't try a spinnerbait.

@Pat Brown believes that some bass spawn more than once and that bass don't all spawn at the same time. I agree with Pat that bass are individuals. I try to understand them and guess where they'll be and what they want, but in the end, they're mysteries to me.

Bass, just like deer, do not read our rule books. They act like they don't have calendars.
