Fishing has been great. The weather has been awful. The bass are still pre-spawn staging and starting to show up in the shallows. We are still, however, finding most of the fish in places that are close to the shallows/spawning waters, rather than on their redds. Water temps are up around 50 degrees (air temp has been cooler) and the bass are aggressive when taking a bait, or all together tight lipped.  Another common theme seems to be that when you find one hungry bass there are several others in proximity, so don't be surprised if  you stop in one place and pull out several fish.  Probably the number one factor that affects "the bight" would be pressure from other fisherman, so if you see an area with a concentration of  boats, avoid it. You may be surprised where these bass are swimming!
