But will the bass be around the bushes as they typically are? We still need three to four feet of water and we could easily get that. ![]() It’s a time when nearly every bass boat on the lake will be in five foot depths or less.

If we could even get to 170 (or higher) that would help a lot because we’re a foot and a half away from where we can say there is more cover with water in the bushes.
