The warmer weather and water are bringing the Bass up to their beds. This week the bite was solid with soft plastics, jerkbaits and jigs. Our contacts reported good action with Senkos in green pumpkin, baby bass, and green pumpkin/purple flake. Bass were also fooled with Roboworms in mean green, bold bluegill, and Aaron’s magic. In the early morning, buzz baits and lucky craft bluegill squarebills have been the hot ticket. Bluegill have been going for wax worms, meal worms and red worms. Crappie have been showing in the afternoon’s live shiners and minijigs jigs.
