Bass Spring is here and the bass are driving the fishermen crazy. They are deep one day and shallow the next. Watch the birds and the shad, follow their lead and with the correct bait, you will catch them. They are trying to work the shallows more and more, try that early and then look for cover the cover on the first drops. They are still responding to slow presentations in the absence of bait fish. Heavy spinners and jigs can be worked slow. An oversized lipped crank can be rolled slowly and kept in the strike zone.
Crappie are moving in and will be ready for the minnows. Trolling minnow tipped jigs is working in the creeks near the top of creek ledges. Chartreuse and black and pearl are a good choice.
Blue gills are starting to work on the wigglers around the covered banks.
Catfish are staging to spawn and are really on fire. Two to 10 feet of water is the trick. Cut bait is really doing well.
