B. What Baits to use - crank baits, spinner baits, jig and craworm combo, plastic worms and lizards’ fished Carolina rigged. 

C. Techniques - the bass are schooled up and feeding heavy. Locate groups of fish by sight   (schooling) or in areas mentioned above and fish whatever baits you like to fish any way you like to fish it. The bass are very easy to catch this time of year.

B. What Baits to use - crickets, red worms, mealworms, and jigs. 

C. Techniques - cast parallel to grass lines, allow bait to fall slowly on a tight line, and retrieve with a slow pumping action. Use bobber or float to suspend bait at varied depths off the bottom.
