Solid ICASST tournament today! We finished 10th out of 40 boats with 6.9 pounds of largemouth and smallmouth. In the morning, we tried for largies in the reeds but found they hadn’t pushed up yet since the water was only 50 degrees. We then picked out a deeper rip rap shoreline where we caught smallies with a dropshot on the rock to clay transition line. As the day progressed and the sun warmed up the water, we went back to the largie reeds to find that the water was now 56 degrees and a few had pushed up into them. I picked a couple off with a flipping bait and got our limit with 10 minutes to spare. Overall a great time on the water!

Hey! GrundyBassman here. With the weather warming up I went out and pounded them today. The new Chatterbait EVO got it done when nothing else would. Smallmouth were hammering the EVOs listed in this report. Best bait I’ve used in a long time. Had the place to myself again, no one was at the boat launch or in the parking lot. Bass were eager to please me. I focused on sun drenched areas where the water was warmer and a stop and go retrieve. Until next time, I will see you in the woods and on the water. GrundyBassman
