In the spring, bass feed heavily upon crawfish, which provide an excellent source of protein for spawners. Therefore, throw baits that resemble crawfish around deep points. Stick to browns, reds and oranges. Later, bass switch to bream and shad. Throw chartreuse and blue in late spring and shad colors in the summer.

Greer’s Ferry contains very little grass. The state began an effort to increase the amount of grass in the lake, Perrin said. Biologists planted vegetation on some muddy flats and surrounded these patches with cages to things from eating the grass. If the grass spreads, it could produce better spawns and enhance fishing in the future.
