Largemouth BassTechniqueDrop ShotSeasonSummerStructureSubmerged VegetationCold front moved in the night before, really had to finesse these fish, dead sticking the drop shot. Bigger ones were schooled up so covering water was a player
Adam HarveyBronze AmbassadorSpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueGrass JigsSeasonSummerStructureDocksWeather was warm the week prior and the water was high, maybe letting the weds grow higher in some spots, which threw us off a little from previous trips on this lake. The boys kept trying different spots. We tried reeds, only found 12-14 in bass.We found that flooded docks near a bridge with the jigs held the bigger bass- 15-17 inch.

SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Pitch/Flip)SeasonSummerStructureSubmerged VegetationGot the kids out on Clearwater and had a ball throwing jigworms. Easy fishing for the kids to just toss out a jigworm and let it sit on deep coontail edges. Curly tails were good on a hot school and as they got moved around the stickbaits got better. I flipped a jig around as well and got bit, bigger fish definitely on the jigs and T-rigged baits vs jigworms.

Fished in the rain this morning and caught a ton of fish...buzz baits in the rain produced the biggest and most fish by far. Large mouth and pike. Casting the Reed bed edges and over the top of cabbage patches....

Fished in a Slay Nation event today and had to change up my approached after conditions made my prefishing irrelevant. Spent the morning fishing Reed bed edges with deep drops and just couldn't find them...switched it up and head to the other side of the lake to get out of the morning wind. Fished the edge of Reed, cattail, and lilypad mixed beds in about 1'-5' of water with a Buzz baits and a YUM toad trailer. From 11am to 200pm caught about 60 fish casting the edges of theses mixed beds. Tons of smaller bass 12"-15" and was able to cull out a 5 fish bag of 83" with the largest being 18 3/4"....it was grind but a lot fun fishing a full day of topwater..

Wind was pushing pretty strong. Finding reeds that dropped off fast and had some weeds around. Flipping and retrieving very slow helped. Natural colors worked best.
