SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueCarolina RigsSeasonWinterStructurePointsPracticed for our club tournament the following day. Was able to catch a few keepers fishing a Carolina rig in 2 to 10 feet of water targeting flats and secondary points with rock interspersed with a sandy bottom. Rigged a green pumpkin Z Craw with flappers dipped in Chartreuse Spike it. As the sun came out and we could site fish was able to boat a few flipping a wacky rigged 5" Green Pumpkin Black flake senko either weightless or on a weighted head. Unfortunately, the following day we had to deal with wind ranging from 25 to 35 mph so our secondary point pattern was impossible to do.
