Largemouth BassTechniqueMedium Diving Crankbaits (7'-12')SeasonSummerStructureFlooded BrushThey are a little hard to find but they will bite when you run by them with a medium depth crank bait. They also are biting on swim baits. I had luck with the xzone swammer 3.5 inch on a dirty jigs jig head. Lots of smaller fish. I did catch 3-4 that were the size of this one but most were dinks.

Was fishing around a flooded dock area. Google earth showed what appeared to be a flooded parking lot I was dragging that jig over. Water was pretty high and there were flooded trees and bushes around everywhere.

Ended up with a big fat zero at this weekends BFL. However, if you are looking to catch numbers this bait got it done. Mixed with some shakey head, and spinner bait fishing you can have a great day. Find a creek and flip everything.
