Largemouth BassTechniqueNeko RigsSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureSubmerged VegetationDead sticked the bait and it produced bites all morning.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueDrop ShotSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureRock PileRigged the worm weedless to avoid snags on nearby weeds, dragging slowly over rock piles for stubborn bites.
- SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueShallow Diving Crankbaits (0-6')SeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureRock Pile
Slow rolling crankbait off of rock piles, bite was very subtle, cold weather had the fish moving slow.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueBladed JigsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureSubmerged VegetationCold weather made the bite slow, reeling just fast enough to keep the blade thumping was the ticket to getting bit.

Smallmouth BassTechniqueDrop ShotSeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureRock PileDidn't find a whole lot of fish on beds, but the ones we found were quick to bite. The siren color half shell helped my visibility because of hazy clouds and a ripple on the water.
- SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueDrop ShotSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureMatted Grass
Finding beds hidden in the holes in matted vegetation and dropping the drop minnow as close to the fish as possible was key to catching these very skittish bedding bass.
- SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Pitch/Flip)SeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureBrush Piles
Ended up fishing my first club tournament on this day, and ended up locking a texas rigged craw in my hand all day just pitching it around looking for big pre-spawned bass. On back to back flips, I hooked 2 fish over 5lbs, lost one at the boat because it went under and broke the line on the rub rail, then I landed this beauty.

Throw Neko through thick grass patches where fish were roaming.
