Weld's Largemouth Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 Conditions are sunny with decent amount of clouds here and there. High 60s pushing 70 degrees, water temp is in the low 60s or even higher, I haven't recorded it. Fishing a man made pond that produced multiple prespawn 3 lbers caught on lipless crank bait. I've seen 4+ lbers in the pond and I'm looking to target them. Some fish are in middle of their spawning and on beds but most are finishing up. Some are even just starting to spawn. Max depth is probably 6 or 7 feet. I'm going to be fishing from the bank with many access spots. Lure suggestions? I was going to just use the lipless crank bait, seemed to be pretty effective. Quote
bassin is addicting Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 try a pop-r. good for post spawn if you are targeting the bigger fish. i'd throw a jig Quote
Weld's Largemouth Posted May 19, 2014 Author Posted May 19, 2014 try a pop-r. good for post spawn if you are targeting the bigger fish. i'd throw a jig I don't know how active the post spawned are yet.. Topwater hasn't been good at prespawn nor during the spawn. They still seem to have a spawn like attitude. I've tried a jig multiple times but to no avail. But it may be a decent idea to cast it into open water, because with the jig I really was only targeted near beds Quote
Mccallister25 Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 If the bass are pressured, try a 5/16oz jig with a chunk trailer. Also try throwing a spook near any visable structure. Fish around any drains, if any with a jig/t-rig/shakey head. Lipless might be pretty effective. Maybe a squarebill also. Quote
