Everything That Swims: Hot Side Spring Bass Fishing

I had never tried the hot side in the spring until today, looks like I've been missing out! I Landed 52 bass, best 5 went 12.47lbs which is pretty good for the hot side. The main baits I used were a Keitech Swing Impact Fat 4.8" on a weightless swimbait hook, the always magical Nikko Worm on a 1/8oz Strike King football shakey head, a 4" GYCB Senko wacky riggged, and a Purple Smoke Zoom Z-Drop on a drop shot.
I spent my whole day in pool 3, I never really paddled spot to spot, there were fish everywhere so I just fished everything, and caught them the whole time. If I was on a flat, I would throw the swimbait and cover water, if I came to a dock, laydown, or brush I would throw the shakey head, if I saw cruising fish, I would throw the senko. I used a drop shot to sight fish, and pull a couple fish off of beds. There were hundreds of bass in the shallows but they were mainly 12" and under, so I let a lot of fish swim by without paying them any mind. Out of 52 bass, only 4 of them weighed over 2lbs but I got to sight fish and it's warm out so I can't complain.
I can't wait to go back!

The fish above and below were both exactly 2.49lbs and came off of wood cover on a Nikko Worm. You can even see the laydown in the photo below because the water is so clear!
