Green pumpkin shad chatterbait with the chartreuse shad spunk shad caught one and had another hit on a quick trip later in the afternoon. Caught next to a dock, steady retrieve with occasional twitch. I was using a golden shiner jackhammer first with no luck, switched to the green pumpkin shad and within 4-5 casts had a catch.

Largemouth BassTechniqueWacky RigsSeasonSummerStructureFlooded BrushGot on some largemouth in shallow brush with the chicken rig. We were seeing them up in shallow pockets, all the way up to a foot or less of water chasing shad. By midafternoon most everything that would bite was tucked on the bottom. We’d see free roaming fish on scope but they didn’t show interest in most things we threw that wasn’t on the bottom.

Best results have come fishing secondary and main lake points with a topwater. Working a Zara Spook really fast has been the trick for me. Following up with an underspin.
