Largemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Worming)SeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureRock PileWith water temps reaching the high 60’s most of the bass are in their full prespawn moods. I like to find water clarity around 1-2ft visibility. This will allow you to go look for beds while allowing you to get nice and close to the fish to cast at them. The bass like to spawn on the bank as well as under docks. when the water fluctuates a lot they will spawn off the bank on rocky flats and rock piles.

Bass were up in the rocks still after the cold front this last week. Just as the temps are getting around 65 and the fish start moving up to spawn, cold fronts have been keeping them from committing fully to bedding up. Used Shimano mastiff flouro 20 pound line to a 1/2oz VMC Swinging Rugby head wobble head jig with a cutrworm from strike king. Anything red has gotten bit the last few weeks. Bites were few and far between but still decent size fish up shallow.

Fishing was slow but fish were up shallow on rock on most of the lake. Chatterbait bite was good. Caught a 9.34 on a jackhammer with 20 pound Shimano Mastiff. I forgot to turn the drag down and the line held up well running the bait through the rocks.

Bass were finally making a push up to the banks in less than 1’ of water. Massive rain fall today and they bit leading into and after each storm cell that passed by. Bought some shimano mastiff 20 pound line after really liking the 14 pound line and it didn’t fail. Lots of fish caught in the local tournament trail today!

Caught fish after the rain in rip rap slow crawling a 3xd from 1’-13’ got bites up closer to the rocks in 1-2’. Shimanek mastiff line worked well to crank with. Upsized the line from 12-14 pounds and was nice to keep the 3xd from diving as deep.

Wacky rig worms from waters edge down to 3 ft. deep. Lizards and Ring Fry for roaming fish. Bite was soft and slow.

Bass are moving up for the spawn. Bigs are still deeper. Caught a lot of males on rocky points near spawn creeks and flats.
