Like it says in the title, The fishing has been fantastic around here. I went fishing Monday and tuesday afternoon and started off by nailing a bass on my second cast with a 3/16 ounce spinnrbait with a silver colorado blade, This area I was fishing I think keeps replenishing, because I have been able to nail several bass from this area for two days straight, I think I'm just catching small males that are preparring to move up shallow to spawn, but I don't know because the water is probably from 1-3 feet deep where I'm fishing, and is mixed with a gravel and dirt bottom by a small drain. All I have been doing is slow rolling the spinnerbait and they pounce all over it, same thing with a sexy shad swim jig. The amazing thing is that I haven't needed to use a trailer hook on the spinnerbait. The best colors for me are skirts with black, yellow, and chartreuse. I have only seen one bass on a bed so far this week, Still trying to figure out why there arent more. I think the drop in temperature yesterday put the bass that were on my spot deeper because my strikes on a spinnerbait came in 6 feet of water. I also found a great swimming jig pattern this week in the same exact spot. A spinnerbait is now on of my confidence baits and I now plan on making it part of my arsenal in all the tournaments I enter to catch a quick limit.

I really have no clue why they like this area this much, I know it has some gravel, with a WEEEEE little bit of current trickling out by a near by drain. Any ideas why this area is so good? Another funny thing is that they would only really hit spinnerbaits that had skirts that had colors like black, chartreuse, yellow, etc. And all I had to do was slow roll it and I would get hit immediately, I caught on on my second cast one day.

Without seeing a map or knowing the lake or pond I would be guessing as to why fish like the area. It is good that you are learning the spinnerbait. Keep it up and learn as many lures as you can. Versatility is a huge asset when chasing these green creatures.

I'm guessing that it's a spawning area or food is concentrated in that area. That sand bottom is good for spawning and the light current would help to keep the eggs oxygenated. Plus the water flowing in may be a little warmer, another bonus.
