Largemouth BassTechniqueFootball JigsSeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureSubmerged VegetationHad just a few hours to fish. Picked up bites dragging a 1/2 ounce football jig along the weed edges. Fish still in all phases of the spawn with water temps between 66-68 degrees.

Most bites were in 4-8’ of water. Finesse jigs and Neko rigs did the bulk of the damage today with a few drop shot fish mixed in. Rock bass were abundant and active, but a sure fire sign we were too shallow.

Fish in all stages of the spawn. Shallow spawners and fry guarders were biting early and often in the shallows…..as the day wore on they bite dried up and found a secondary pattern on the weed edges. Most bites were on the bottom with a very few chasing the bait up in the water column. Lots of 1.25 to 2 pound buck bass.

Just working the ZinkerZ over the patches of grass flats. 6-8ft of water.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueNeko RigsSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureSubmerged VegetationWas a rainy day and fish were tucked deep in the weeds in the middle of the lake. Used live scope to find holes in the tall submerged weed beds. Would drift the neko rigged fínese craw over the weeds and then let it drop in the holes. Produces many hard strikes on the swim, the drop and even while just sitting on the bottom. Floating claws work. This could work many places.

Smallmouth BassTechniqueSwim JigsSeasonSummerStructureSubmerged VegetationBrowns lake has large pockets of submerged vegetation. I used the Helix to find where the vegetation ended and would rocket the jig through vegetation and get the bite. I threw this same jig at boat dock and the northerns seemed to like it!

Got out later in the afternoon on my kayak with a plan to catch some smallmouth. Fish have been loving this presentation since January so I keep tossing it. Gamakatsu round ball jig 1/8 or 3/16 paired with that keitech swing impact fat 2.8" is just flat out money this time of year.
