The spawn is over at Casitas and bass have fully transitioned into hunting shad. Water temps are now in the low 70s, and shad are schooling up all over the lake. Some anglers are reporting 20+ fish days running underspins, jerkbaits, Keitech swimbaits, and A-rigs. Bass seem to be all over the water column... some in open water, others holding off points and transition zones, and even some pushing into the backs of coves. No matter where you decide to fish, shad is the color and lure pattern. Most fish are 1–2 pounds, but reports also mention some bigger ones, up to 7 pounds. It may seem obvious, but if you can get live shad, it's the ultimate bait for both numbers and size right now.
