Wilson Lake in May

Smallmouth bass become very aggressive when coming off the beds in May and display some aerial acrobatics for the springtime angler fortunate enough to land these hard-fighting bass.

Schooling will take place below Wheeler dam with these and other species during this post-spawn period. Schooling bass will also appear on flats find along major feeder creeks such as Town Creek, Shoal Creek, McCerman Creek and Blue Water Creek.

Largemouth's are also hitting topwaters and spinnerbaits along weed edges, in stump flats and on wood cover up in these small feeder creeks in May. Crankbaits, lipless lures and jerkbaits are also good lures.

Some largemouth bass will immediately move back to travel routes taken during pre-spawn conditions. Places they hold are along points, ledges, drop-offs, creek bends, rock bluffs and rip-rap. These spots will also have other bass species such as smallmouth bass and striped bass.
