The larger bass have just begun to frequent the intermediate depths near their typical spawning locations. The weather has been so erratic this year in S.C., the fish are a few weeks behind schedule compared to previous years. The pond is holding an extra 8"-10" of water from the weekly downpours, and with the 30 degree nights, the water temps arent where they typically are. Normally I'm fishing beds this time of year but I havent even seen one yet.
I caught these fish on the 13th at 3:30pm in about 6' of water that transitions to a shallow plateau of about 2'. Its my go-to spot for catching big hungry females before they hit the bed. These are the first decent ones this year...
