With the weather cooperating today, decided to hit up Long Lake once the sun warmed the water a bit. Water temps between 52.5 to 54.0. Wasn't getting any bites on a jerkbait or a jig, so I decided to throw a spinnerbait to cover more water. Caught five fish with around 12 inches and a couple nicer fish in the 2 1/2 to 3 pound range. All fish were up against retaining walls in less than 2 feet of water on the sunnyside of the lake. The fish would hit just as soon as the blade started to turn, real aggressive. All caught on the main hook. Single silver Colorado blade, white skirt with white double-tail trailer.

Nice report, thanks Dan360. I've not had much luck yet for bass, but haven't been out to Long yet this season. Tried Pattison last week, but nothing. Appreciate the details on what you were using. I've been using jigs and cranks so far, but may get out the spinnerbaits too.

The spinnerbait I was using was a 1/4 oz. i wanted to basically be able to get a lot of bouyancy and lift at a really slow retrieve, so I went light head, big colorado blade, and double curly tail trailer. I tried a few different blade combinations with the same color, but this was the only bait that got bit. Also tried black and chartreuse but no dice.
