Largemouth BassTechniqueHard Topwater (Walking)SeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureSubmerged VegetationShad spawn was busting on the banks and fish were super aggressive. The hook up ratios with this bait was crazy and the hooks were buried so no chance for one to coming off.

Fan casting submerged grass was the key and produced 30-40 fish.

We caught our fish throwing heavy spinnerbaits out on offshore humps. It fish were set up on humps with offshore grass.
- SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Pitch/Flip)SeasonSummerStructureLaydowns
It’s been a good week on the “Chick”! Most fish came flipping lay downs early in the morning with a rage bug. I was able to pick a few up on the 6th sense Dogma walking it over submerged shallow grass. All in all it was a shallow game for me but the fishing was great so get out and give it a go and you might just land that PB!
- SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueNeko RigsSeasonSummerStructureDocks
Pulling neko rigs past docks was an all day success for me. Temps were in the mid 80s with water temps around 75. Tried wacky rigs and shakyheads but the bass would strike the neko. I’m not sure if they wanted the larger worm profile instead of the shakyhead or if it was the retrieval speeds. Good day of fishing on a fantastic lake.
- SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueDeep Diving Crankbaits (13'+)SeasonSummerStructureLedges
Fishing parallel the ledge drops produced reaction strikes. Temps were in the low 80s, water temps around 75. The fish were staging on the ledges and weren’t biting wobble heads or bottom contact moving up hill. Switched to the medium to deep divers and pulled in some keepers.
