Largemouth BassTechniqueTubesSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureRock PileFlipping a tube and bouncing it off rocks was triggering some nicer bites today
- SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueGrass JigsSeasonSummerStructureMatted Grass
It was a really hot day outside and all the fish were pushing back up into the shallow mats looking for shade. I was casting into the open pockets with a jackhammer and reeling it very close up to the surface. They would come out from the grass and eat it. We were on the very west side by the road.
- SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueShallow Diving Crankbaits (0-6')SeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureLily Pads
Shallow flats with emerging lily pads. Cruising fish and fish on beds. Fan casting a soft senko and mixing in a frog for post spawn bass that are in attack mode. Belly weighted spark shad is also a great option and comes through the pad openings and lanes great.
- SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueBladed JigsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureSubmerged Vegetation
Fishing the pencil reed/cabbage transitions for staging fish. The more green the vegetation, the more fish that were present. Had to cover water, but fish were usually grouped up once you found them.

FInd where the green cabbage meets the pencil reeds, they were stacked in the points and corners. Jackhammer with a speed craw did most of the damage, picked up a few more with a senko. Tons of fish, some places it would be 20-30 fish spots nearly coming on every cast.

Finding green grass was a real plus, but the fish were up eating in the wind.

Shallow warm water especially muddy bottom has a pretty good amount of fish hitting top water so if the sun is shining find a calm bank and throw a frog!!
