May on Holt Lake
Bass coming off the beds in May can be very aggressive. Especially
towards lures like topwaters, jerkbaits and crankbaits.
If stained water is encountered then try oversized spinnerbaits
and crankbaits, those featuring internal rattles.
Jig combos, worms, lizards, creature baits and tube baits are
good lure choices for these very hungry and often very aggressive
spotted bass.
Largemouth bass can be found in the smaller pockets, cuts and
creek backwaters. By May new growing aquatic weeds will harbor
some big largemouth bass. Wood and rock cover only enhances these
weedy spots
Weedless lures may be needed to coax these bass out of hiding.
Try frogs, floating worms and lizards and slow sinking Senkos in
and around these weeds. Buzzbaits with trailer hooks can be deadly
on these post spawn bass.
