According to my past multiple years of spreadsheets, the crank bait/shad bite should be working right now. HA. After several hours of 5xd, dt10 and 1.5 crank baiting I gave up and went back to plastics. 1/2 oz Jig/brown-purple and a chigger craw (grn pump) and a mid size grn pump brush hog on a 1/4 oz shaky head I was finally able to put a few in the boat. Fished in main lake channel swing banks.

Nice fish. Maybe the weather/temp is off by a week or so and your hard baits will produce soon. Sounds like you know your lures and keep good SS's, good going. Thank you for sharing.

Some nice bass there. Did you find any in shallow waters?

Nice Job on plan B Rich. I think the seasons are a little skewed all around the country. Thanks for the pictures buddy.

Jer. I fished shallow earlier in the day and then started throwing in front of and along side the docks for deeper brush piles. Caught some there and then moved to bluffs on the main lake throwing about five feet off the bluffs (15-20’ deep) hopping it a few times and then doing it again. Caught more on the initial fall next to the bluffs.

Thanks Rich. I’m hoping to find that shallow bite I’ve been reading about. 😂
