Largemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Worming)SeasonSummerStructureLily PadsIt's been a tough bite in the morning, but the afternoon always seems to pick up. Caught several in the 1-2 lb. range in the morning but the afternoon saw better numbers in the 2-3 lb. range. Probably time to head offshore.

Caught two on a drop-shot around isolated patch of Arrow-Head in about 8' water. Others caught on swim worm with 8th oz pegged sinker. After a morning rain storm I caught a 5.4lb on a Strike King, Greg Hackney signature 1/2oz Swim Jig in Bream like color along the front of Kissimmee grass in about 7' depth. Total 5 fish caught and weighed for 8.4 lbs.

Late afternoons seem to be the best time to catch more numbers of bass but still not the big ones. Schooling fish are around as well. Finding the most fish from the grass lines near deeper water.

At first light I threw a buzzbait with no success. Eventually I worked the Zman spinnerbait along the grass points and it would get annihilated! This was a steady pattern for most of the day. Once the sun was hot they moved to the docks where I skipped a hideaway coike. Let it fall and give it a couple twitches. Lots of small fish in this lake. Had my 5 fish limit at 730am. My biggest bass was 16”. Still caught over 15 fish so it was a great day and a productive lake!

Rainy conditions but still had a great day fishing. Numbers of fish were not a problem at all. We caught a boat load of fish just never got a big bite. It took 12 lbs. to win our local tournament. Everyone we spoke to caught numbers of fish, just a lot of little ones. Plenty of fish locked on beds but they were all less than 2 lbs. for what we saw. Fun day none the less!
