Largemouths take to the shallows for the spawning period.
In warmer weather, the bass hang close to boat dock pilings, lily pads and submerged stumps. When the water muddies, go to lighter-color baits. Keifer Slough offers lily pads and stumps as well as some relief from ski-wave action in warm months. Island shorelines are also a good bet in warm weather. Minnows and small jigs in lighter colors work best.
