Throwing Swimbaits For Spotted Bass on Lake Oroville in 2023!

After the results of the past 2023 No Limit Big Bass Power Hour Tournament by Native Watercraft on New Melones Lake, I figured I try and gain more confidence in fishing finesse and also trying to downsize on my lures. Recently I've felt as though spotted bass prefer smaller baits to either match the forage they feed on or maybe because smaller baits aren't as intimidating to them? Nonetheless I had a few hours to fish today so I used this opportunity to sharpen my confidence with throwing more finesse baits.
