Largemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Worming)SeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureSubmerged VegetationTexas rig swamp swimmer in plum color is killing em right now shallow. Clean edge next to resident hyacinth mats is key.

Edge of the north pit, was pitching worm along the hydrilla and letting it fall to the bottom, hits coming on the fall. Open areas without vegetation throwing the jerkbait.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Worming)SeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureMatted GrassThe Croc O Gator Swamp Swimmer plastic worm is by far the best paddle tail worm I’ve ever used. The action and texture of this worm is by far the best I’ve seen. I’m working this worm in ditches around hyacinth mats on the east side of the lake. Fish it slow and allow the bait to fall. 1/16 oz for slow fall and presentation

Chatterbait will produce all day. Swim jig paired with a Gambler EZ swimmer is very productive as well.

Texas rigged worms on hard grass lines and scattered grass. The Gambler burner worm works great as well as the COG swamp swimmer.

Fishing the reed clumps on the edges of the ditches has been key. Pair the worm with 1/16 to 3/16 and go to work.

Find the grass clumps on the East side of the S canal and hang the Chatterbait in the grass and pop it out. Slow rolling the bait as slow as you can without getting it totally bogged down. Flip the bait short distances in holes of the grass instead of long cast.

Captain Steve here from FLbigbassadventures.com and the big bite BFE is a perfect bait for punching heavy vegetation here on headwaters. I prefer the 2 ounce weight paired with this bait. Target matted hydrilla or mats either over or right next to deeper water on the edge of the natural ditches or the man made ditches. Yo-yo once or twice then move to the next flip.
