Largemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Worming)SeasonSummerStructureLily PadsThe limited rainfall has them moving around quite a bit as it dries up more and more. Major solunar periods falling at sunrise/sunset are the best bet at the moment. Throw parallel to to shore as many of the bigger ones are hiding in vegetation in 1-3 feet. Good luck!

Most of the quality is right on the shoreline in the vegetation. Morning Dawn and Purple are getting hot at times.

New Moon brought sporadic action. LMBs seem to be tight to shoreline vegetation or deep under shade. Recent rains now are pushing the clarity to nil, so straight black has produced the best overall results, specifically a Trick Worm weightless Texas. The crack of dawn strangely has been tough with many bites coming around 730-930.

Topwater is on fire through the new lily pads evolving daily. Small frogs are drawing big bites, so be alert to start cranking to keep them from wrapping all around the pads when you're lucky enough to get a solid hookset.

The Fall festival seems to be beginning! 8 in last 2 short outings, most coming off the edges. This 23 inch fat mama was hiding in about 2.5 ft. I would highly suggest Black, Black/Blue, or a darker Green Pumpkin Stick.

Good time to throw the Fat Swings and bluegill colored soft plastics. Wacky is super hot right now with big fish enjoying the slow fall of a GP senko weightless. Go get you some!

As the water continues into the mid 70s expect solid fishing this April. Full moon on 4/6 should keep this week interesting and successful. The hottest bait for me lately has been the 6th Sense Divine Swimbaits in the 3.8 pro shad. They are killing it on a 1/4 or 1/8 oz ball jighead, or a 6th sense matched jighead if you want to get an even better experience. Yo-yo slightly while hitting different water columns and you're bound to score.

It's been a tough couple a weeks with scattered bites. They started picking back up with the full moon coming this weekend. So get out there and slam em!
