Largemouth 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.

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