fished hopewell Saturday from sun up until about noon my buddy caught 10 I caught 5. Most fish came within a 15 minute span of time. It has been a long time since I caught 3 bass on 3 consecutive cast. fish caught on square bills and jerk baits.

Glad to hear you had success at Hopewell. Last year one early Spring day I caught 23 Bass on Square Bills in a matter of 4 hours. So it sounds like that pattern may still be holding up for early Spring this season. You also mentioned Bass on jerkbaits; were they hard jerkbaits like a Rogue or soft jerkbaits like a Fluke? I will be headed out this coming Saturday but not sure if I am going to hit Hopewell or a different lake. Any size to the fish you caught or were they all the typical 10-12" Bass Hopewell is famous for? There are a few really nice sized Bass in there; I normally catch at least one over 5 down there each season but its always a blast just catching numbers as well.

the jerkbaits were hard and suspending baits. all fish were the average Hopewell bass 10-14".

I will be taking my son out on the boat at Hopewell tomorrow. What is the diving depth of the squarebills that you are having success with? Are you fishing the squarebills in deep or shallow water? Thanks in advance for any pointers that you might give me.

I was throwing kvd 1.5 throwing in shallow and cranking off a small legde they were hitting the crank as soon as if came off the legde every fish on crank bait had the belly hook of the crank bait.
