Texas Rigs (Worming)
Structure
Matted Grass
Throwing a texas rigged worm will get bass in the boat here. I targeted the matted grass. I used a 1/4 oz tungsten worm weight but I also believe a weightless texas rigged worm will work as well. I caught on a 7" as well as a 10" worm. Variety of colors worked here. watermelon/red, watermelon/seed, blue fleck.

Over the years we have caught a mix of bass and pike on this lake. The pike were generally small, but this year we fished a few different areas and worked deeper and slower with the spinnerbaits and were thrilled with tons of pike action. Fish in the mid 30 inch range and up were very common. We hit this lake several times and it didn't disappoint. Make sure to bring a net!
