LOL true but slow on top doesnt work for worms, jigs, senko

That’s true, which not only makes them "different answers", but also makes them Odd Bedfellows

Exactly

Rather than adding to the litany of lures.

we tried to shed some light on the why-fors,

By the way, any angler who’s never experienced a brief post-spawn lull,

has only to spend a vacation in central Florida to experience a new learning curve.

Our spawning season encompasses many months and many sub-seasons.

Catt, RoLo, would you mind if I joined your club? See post #12.

YELP!

how do i tell males from females? btw sherwood and westlake is a private lake so its kinda hard to fish there. sherwood and westlake is most probably still is spawning season though.

Thanks for mentioning Lake Sherwood. I grew up fishing there before it became private. I caught my first bass there back in the early 80's. I believe they used to have some smallies there too, didn't they?

I just wanted to add that I'm in Southern CA and fish a couple of smaller city lakes are we are in post spawn too. The advice posted in this thread is very accurate and good advice.

Keep in mind that this phase of post spawn right now is a little tougher. Its even tougher at my lake because the water level is a couple feet lower than it was during spawn and the lake just received a water treatment last week . Now the water is very clear. You can clearly see the empty beds, and all of the various fish. I'm seeing lots of trout holdovers and bluegills getting chased away from the bass fry's. It seems the bass are just chasing them and not trying to run them down like they were last week.

I'm still having good success right now with Senco's , Fat Ika's and Yamamoto DT Grubs. I'm fishing them slower than ever....I think most of my strikes are coming when the plastics are very still or hung up on the outside of the weed lines.
