Largemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Worming)SeasonSummerStructureReedsI got 8 today and my friend got 3. We went left out of Lakefront Park and fished along the reeds in about 3 to 5 feet of water and got a few. We then went across the lake near Boggy Creek and fished along the reeds there and got some more including the biggest of the day at 3.54lbs, pictured. Wind picked up and we ran over into the canal leading to AJ Lake and fished the riprap before the bridge and just passed the bridge and got a few more. All my fish were caught on the Gambler worm and he caught his on a Yum Swim n Dinger in Black and Blue flake.

Put 5 in the boat today all in the pound to pound and a quarter range as the wind kept me from where I wanted to fish. All caught on the Gambler worm, they didn't hit the chatterbait or any other color worm. Lost 3 on the way to the boat and had a good one, 3lbs by the look of it, tie me up in the reeds and got off before I was able to get to it.

Got out today for a couple of hours and put 2 in the boat, had 2 get off, one broke off and missed a few. Fishing along the edges and just in the reeds in 2 to 6 feet of water, bites were both light and hard, even a couple tried to yank the rod out of my hand. The fish were caught on the Swim n Dinger, however had bites on a Dinger in Mardi Gras , Crawdad and Watermelon Red.

Went left out of Lakefront Park and fished along the reeds catching 6 in a area that led down to some houses and docks on the Gambler worm. Moved over near Boggy Creek and got a couple more, then went down into the canal and got 1 on the swim n dinger, and 3 more on a Yum Dinger in Mardi Gras color, all on the left side of the canal before the bridge from the start of the riprap. Biggest one caught close to the bridge, pictured, weighing 2.69lbs. Others were from 78lbs. up to 2lbs, most pound and a half.

Started out to the left of the Lakefront Park along the reeds and picked up 2 little ones, so I moved over towards Fells Cove and got another small one from the reeds. They seemed to have moved out to deeper water, although I thought that with the rain we been having and the water temp down they would have been there early. So I went exploring over to A J Lake and found some in the riprap along the canal leading to the lake. Caught a few right along the shore, no more than 3 feet in, from about a hundred yards before the bridge down to the lake. Got one from under the second dock to the left in the lake but nothing else so I went back down the canal and picked up some more, same pattern, using a Get Hooked Magic Baits Heart Pounder, 7 and a quarter inch worm in Black and Blue. 13 in total, 3 on East Lake, and 1 on A J Lake with the rest from the canal.

I was slow-moving this bluegill near the edge of a lily pad cover. A bass struck from under the lily pads, came out in an arc, and struck the bluegill on his way back to cover.

Got 3 today in about 2 hours fishing along the reeds in 3 to 5 feet of water. They were on the small size, lost a BIG one that wrapped me up and missed a few.

Caught good numbers of fish but was only able to weigh in 5 keepers for 8.21 lbs. An 8+ pounder was weighed in by a competitor. Had to filter through the bites to find better fish. Offshore pepper grass was key using the skinny dipper on a 1/8 oz belly hook in 4/0 on 65 lb braid spiderwire.
