Largemouth BassTechniqueDrop ShotSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureSubmerged VegetationThis 21 was the biggest of 5 caught today.tried a 1/0 ewg hook and it worked great it’s small enough to rig it like a regular drop shot hook and rig it weedless
- SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueDeep Diving Crankbaits (13'+)SeasonSummerStructureLedges
Caught several on the 6XD fishing parallel to a ledge in about 16’. Make a long cast, retrieve fast to get the crank down to the bottom, then slow your retrieve as you maintain bottom contact. Most of my bites seemed to occur when I would add brief pauses during my slow retrieve dredging bottom.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueFootball JigsSeasonSummerStructureSubmerged Vegetation1/2oz Swinghead Jig with Xzone 4.25" Adrenaline Craw triggered several bites in a 14' grass patch. Make a long cast, let it hit bottom, and straight retrieve it slowly making sure to maintain bottom contact. When it would catch on the grass, I didn't use my rod to pop it free. Instead I just kept pressure on the reel handle until it pulled out from the snag, which seemed to really trigger the bites.

Caught several 18-20 bass on the Mop Jig. The big ones didn't want to have anything to do with any soft plastic we threw at them.

Find clean grass with bluegills around and make sure to slow down and completely pick apart the area.

MannyBronze AmbassadorSpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueBladed JigsSeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureSubmerged VegetationThe Large Mouth Bass and Northern Pike were killing the chatterbaits the other night. Run it over weeds and yank them through and you will get strikes. Also, the bass were hitting Haddon Baby Torpedos. It was 8-9PM in June with about 7mph winds. We were fishing wind swept shorelines right at the weedline 16ft casting in to the shallows.
