Largemouth BassTechniqueSwim JigsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureStumpsOn lake Chisago before the largemouth bass spawn, shallow bays with stumps can be great. The bass migrate towards the shallower bays to set up for spawn and use stumps as a stopping point on their way to an eventual spawning bed. These bays have some grass, so a weedless presentation like a swim jig has produced for me. Cover a lot of water and try to make contact with the stumps to trigger a reaction. I like this technique on a 7'+ MH rod with 17lb fluorocarbon line. An Outkast swim jig is hard to beat. 1/4 to 3/8 swim jig with a 4" grub trailer is all you need!

Water temp mid 40s, cracked a few on a jerkbait and slow rolling a chatter sits in 5-10ft. Simms wool half finger gloves are the deal for this time of year.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueSpinnerbaitsSeasonFallStructureSubmerged VegetationThe moving bait bite is still going strong! Toss a 1/2 oz spinnerbait around weed flats in the 6 to 10 foot range. Both Largemouth and Pike are chasing bluegills in these areas. Bluegill and red colors were the ticket.

Choking a jackhammer water temp mid 40s. Yo yo it around remaining healthy grass. They are eating a crank as well. Simms will half finger gloves are the deal for this time of year.

Neko Rig is a great way to catch them in the summer. Play the conditions on the weedlines and cover water.

Casted into weeds a little bit. I would rip the bait off of the weeds and they would crush it. I tried multiple baits and they’d only hit the Ned.

Found a nice school of eaters right out from boat launch. They would only bite on a pinhead minnow
