Post spawn sometimes in late May here in Tn, but if you go early enough in May it should still be pre-spawn. Last year the bass were bedding in April so hopefully it will be the same this year, but this winter was slightly warmer than last year here so you might be out of luck. But even if it is post spawn it doesn't matter cause Pecry Preist is a great lake to fish and I can almost guarantee you will catch fish somewhere on that lake. My favorite baits to throw on that particular body of water are spinnerbaits in bright colors, jerkbaits, and natural colored jigs. Good luck!

This is a annual trip for you isn't it? If so start keeping a log, and it should help with all the future trips. And tell the wife this is a "FISHING TRIP", yeah right LOL.
