Let me help you with this. It’s very very simple. Even today you should put your boat in 12’ of water. STAY there. Throw a Stan Sloan spinner bait 1/2 ounce and burn it. I’m talking 1/2 inch under water. Wake that baby and you will catch some big fish. Also throw a rock climber or a wiggle wort in red.

Also get some bed rigs in green pumpkin and purple and hit the banks by cedar ridge. Tons of 2 lb bass there on those 45 degree bank

Thanks so much!  Learning takes time what a great classroom though!

The first of many, I'm sure. What did you catch him on?

I am sure that you will get it figured out. You all ready have the right lure. Looks like there was a nice chop on the water. That spoon thing is a fun way to catch them.

If you can stay over a school of bait fish for a few minutes, even if it is in the middle of the lake. Packs of whites move through. Notice the depth. Drop the spoon to that depth, wait, when the pack comes through again start jigging.

If they are moving bait fish this works well for all species.
