Largemouth BassTechniqueGrass JigsSeasonSummerStructureMatted Grassfirst light had 5 blow-ups on Googan Frog and hooked a few around Kissimmee grass and pads in 5 to 6 ' water but none made it to the boat!? 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.

It'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.

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!

Wind was blowing pretty good, and it was chilly (by Florida standards) but we were still able to catch 4 decent fish in just a couple hours on the water. 2 fish each for myself and my dad. He was getting bit on the Zoom trick worm in motor oil color, and I was getting bit on the Gambler Fat Ace in black and blue color with a blue tip.

Fished a kayak tournament out of Crooked Lake yesterday. Fishing was pretty slow, most guys got a limit but they were small, I had 70.75ā and it took 73ā to win. I ended up in second and had big fish with a 17.25ā bass. Wind was out of the NE so I fished the grassline on the west side of the lake. Five of my six fish came on the Jackhammer, Iād cast to the edge of the grass, let it sink to the bottom, pop it up and get bit.
