You’ve been waiting all winter, and it’s finally here — the prespawn. Big female largemouth are shallow, hungry and look as though they’ve swallowed softballs. Water temperatures are in the mid- to upper 50s on your favorite lowland reservoir. It’s an older lake with a little bit of wood cover but plenty of grass. The water’s stained, with visibility ranging from 1 to 2 feet. You’ve lucked into a nice day, too. The sun’s shining, and the air temperature is in the high 60s. There’s a gentle breeze coming out of the south. Where do you start?
