Find the baitfish and you’ll find the bass. Yesterday I started fishing the rocky shorelines but couldn’t find any fish. I started moving into deeper water and still didn’t see any baitfish or any other fish on my graphs. It wasn’t until I got into 32ft of water did I see my first signs of life. At 35ft I came across large numbers of baitfish and bass. I used a 1 oz jigging spoon and caught a couple in about an hour. I switched to a drop shot with a 4” finesse worm and caught seven and lost 4 or five more. I only caught spotted bass. The largemouths on Martin continue to elude me. There were no big fish caught as the average size was no bigger than 1 1/2lbs.

At least you found them. Spots seem to be taking over.

Yeah the spots are. They are much more aggressive than largemouths. Personally I think the largemouth population would improve if the lake had some type of grass for the fry to hide in.

IMO, those are the best size to eat.

I agree with that sentiment.

Absolutely! I routinely toss larger bass. There is a reason God created Bluegill&catfish.
