Temp: 74-80 degrees. Clarity: 5 feet. Bass: Tournament angler Matt Driver reports, “To me, it seems like the water temperature is a little slow to warm compared to most years in the past, likely due to rain and a few cold fronts. We’re now at the tail end of the shad spawn. The bass are on…
If catching bass around cypress trees and grassbeds sounds like fun, head to Lake Blackshear in June. Blackshear is arguably our prettiest lake, with shallows studded with cypress trees and acres of grassbeds. Water hyacinths, lily pads in bloom, water willow beds and water primrose are pretty this month. But more importantly, they give largemouth…
