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.
Omnia FishingBronze AmbassadorSpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueHard Topwater (Prop)SeasonSummerStructurePointsThese fish have been tough to dial in lately. 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.

Spotted BassTechniqueBladed JigsSeasonSummerStructureDocksGreen 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.

Had a couple bites on a crankbait but mostly fish just following it without committing. Caught most fish swimming the little Keitech over fish.

Lots of fish either tight against the bottom or suspended right off the bottom and were not interested in top water, crankbaits, jerk baits, etc. Switched to the free rig with the adrenaline craw and they started destroying it. Bottom dragging with a couple twitches and hops. Was also able to get them to come out of brush. Ended the day with around 13.

A little bit warmer day, some fish were starting to swim around more but most still on the bottom. Tried a few different things but only thing we could get them to bite was the free rig.
