Largemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Worming)SeasonSummerStructureRip RapStarted 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 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.

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.

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.

Caught good numbers of fish but had to sort through the small ones to get 5 keeper fish. Ran the Skinny Dipper through the pepper grass to get all of our bites.

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.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Worming)SeasonSummerStructureReedsGot 7 today, 1.63lbs was the best and most were 1.50lbs or so, one dink. Fishing along the reeds in about 4 feet of water. Pepper grass and reeds were the key as they were biting very close to the reeds or when it would clear the grass. Started with the Black/Blue before sun came up and then switched to the watermelon red flake before finishing up with the watermelon pearl. Got 3 on black, 2on watermelon red and 2 on watermelon pearl.
