Early May fished the north east -
Cara Cove grass was not in yet but bass were swimming around looking for grass to start bedding. Any place you found a grass patch or timber or even doc there were fish on them. Furnace Bay was still preety grass free but logs and small patch of grass could produce fish. We were at high tide most of the day.
- Square Bill - Sexy Shad was the ticket 1.5 and 2.5 in any shallow water.
- Chatter baits were also working in white with chart tails
- Spinner baits white
- Senkos on structure in the shallows - any place on a doc.
- Packa Craws also working well
- Silver buddies can be used but did not work for me.
- Carolina rigs seemed to work best during practice with woolly bully's
- Gold Blades are uses in stained to muddy water conditions
- Colorado's for slow and willow leafs for speed
- Look for flats and edges
- Yammamoto Hula jigs worked along with small black worms.
- Make a note to try gold chatter bait blades.

- Up north there were bridges like 729 I think that held bays for new growth vegetation.
