- SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueLive Bait RigsSeasonWinterStructureOpen Water/Basin
Decided to use some live shiners today for fishing. Thought it might be nice to actually feed the fish for.once since I was going to be catching them. It's been difficult fishing lately so I wanted to ensure a catch.
- SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueCarolina RigsSeasonWinterStructureBaitfish
Trying out a new setup today for Carolina rig fishing. Was using live shiners just to ensure a hookup to see how it performed. Was very happy with the rod and reel combo. Was using a KastKing Assegai rod and MegaJaws Elite reel with Hammer Braid. Worked like a charm!

Margarita Mutilator ALWAYS gets bit! I have never not caught a fish throwing a dropshot with a MM roboworm.

- SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueHard Topwater (Walking)SeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureOpen Water/Basin
The top water bite is here! Was trying different walking speeds to entice the bite. Out in open water, following a fast/erratic walk I paused the lure and the fish hit it about 1 seconds later. Only a 1.25# fish but biggest of the day.
- SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueNeko RigsSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureOpen Water/Basin
First time ever throwing a Neko rig. Used spear point dropshot hooks and a bass pro squirmin worm with a tungsten nail weight. Just hopped it along the bottom slowly and felt this little guy pick it up. I also threw this on top of a large female sitting on a bed and she took it. Fought her for about 15 seconds but was using too light of tackle and she spit the hook.
- SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueTubesSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureReeds
First cast caught this male, the spawn is here, lots of males and females sitting on beds. He gutted it but I was able to carefully remove it by going up through the gill plate and he went on to continue chasing other fish away. Still can't get the 5# female though...she's smart!
