I am one of those people who love open-water bass fishing and for those times when I can't be casting, I'm definitely thinking about it!
After a long winter's respite, I always like to consider my approach when exposed to new waters.
So here's an image and background info regarding a potential early spring opportunity for all like-minded bass folk to ponder and respond too in the social media feed or post comment section if desired :)
The Setting
Season/location: Early spring fishing cove/pocket in northern section of lake; water temps - upper 40s to mid 50s
Water depths & clarity: 0-ft at shore to 10-ft at entrance; water is tea colored with ~ 3-ft visibility
Bottom composition: Some "clean" sand and gravel but most areas are organic muck over sand & gravel
Structure/cover: Two main points at entrance plus a few secondary points around pocket; two ditches running from each arm of pocket into main lake; several laydowns around shoreline with a number of scattered stumps throughout pocket as well; pocket is fairly heavily vegetated during warmer months so there are many patches of pad,reed, cabbage stems throughout.
Forage: Perch, shiners, sunfish, minnows & crawfish
So, what are you throwing?
