Largemouth BassTechniqueHard JerkbaitsSeasonSummerStructureSubmerged VegetationFishing jerkbats by grasslines produces yet again. Also had luck throwing roboworms on a dropshot on grasslines where possible and offshore brush. Caught 15 bass total biggest going 1.9lb.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueNeko RigsSeasonSummerStructureBouldersUsed my forward facing sonar to target largemouth cruising flats in 12-15 foot of water. The best areas had scatter boulders and isolated grass clumps. In the morning the fish were roaming more but once the sun got up they stayed closer to the cover and were harder to pinpoint. I caught two over 6 pounds doing this today!

Targeted laydowns in deeper water. Bigger fish were off the bank in the submerged treetops. Used two trailers on my jig, both were from Bojangles Baits. When I wanted a slow fall I used a Cook Craw in Summer craw pattern and to get a faster fall I used a green pumpkin Z-Daddy.

Water temps in the mid 80’s and clarity was stained. Lots of floating grass around the shoreline making some presentations tough. Caught most of my fish working a popper over isolated weeds in 5-8 feet of water. Long pauses in between pops.

Another hot weekend on the jerkbait. About 18 bass & 10 crappie. Three slab crappies and three bigger bass. Two 2.25lbers and one nice 3.39lb 19" bass for my new PB. The big three bass were all on the Jackall Rerange 110 RT Perch. Throwing jerks as close to grass as possible and working them aggressively back to the boat with variable pauses. Natural/shiny colors definitely played better. I tried throwing an elegy bone 110 later in the morning and only caught a small walleye. Gill/minnow colors with some shine were the money baits.

Caught 13 bass and 7 crappies on the Vision 110 jr (FA Oikawa Metallic). Throwing on the edge of a grassline and inside some bigger holes in the grass where there was room. Dropped senkos in smaller holes in the grass and ended up catching 6 that way. Caught one on a 3/16 texas rigged scounbug in sandy flats. All bass 1-1.5lbs. Probably should have upped my size and messed with the colors but can't complain about 20 bass!

Water temps in the mid 80s with 1-2’ visibility. Slowly crawling a buzzbait around submerged vegetation bright the most strikes.
