SAM RAYBURN:

Kevin Baxter with a nice Rayburn Bass he caught with me.

Well the water temps are in the 70's.

Bass are Still spawning in many areas and then some have already spawned out. Popers and Buzzbaits are working early along with Frogs worked around edges of Brush and in the thick vegetation. Texas rigged Zoom Big Critter craws in Watermelon Red Candy worked along flooded bruch edges has been working well. The Carolina Rig bite is pretty awesome right now. Watermelon Red Flukes worked on those Carolina rigs along breaklines in 9-15 foot was catching well.
