Largemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Worming)SeasonSummerStructurePointsGreg and I hit the Tuesday Night Hog Fights, and he had me sweating early,he was putting fish in the boat left and right while I was just getting warmed up. But I didn’t give up, slowly, I chipped away, and as the sun dropped, I turned the tables. The real drama? I pulled in a couple of big bites right at the end, and we sealed the deal with a 3 fish limit weighing 15.60 pound bag averaging over 5 pounds each! We caught them on that soon to drop Motion Fishing straight worm and the trusty 10 inch Berkeley Power Worm. We worked main lake rocky points and brush piles, with a bit of standing timber, but those main lake structures held the gold. The Omnia Pro App helped me lock in on those prime stretches. Ive been looking at new stretches to explore each time I go and this time I found the juice. If you’re heading to Truman, trust me keep that worm wet, and don’t forget LUKE10 at Omnia for 10% off!

Bass were very lethargic. The bite was very slow. You really had to pay attention to your line and feel for anything that felt different on the retrieve. Fish were on ledges with trees anywhere from the bank out to 25'.

Went out of Bucksaw Marina and fished that area of the lake. Was flipping a Motion Fishing Co 3/8oz flipping jig to shallow stumps and trees. Had a shot at a really good bag of fish but the storm and big wind made it hard to feel bites. Square bills were also working well from the bank to about 4ft deep. Seems like those river bass have started to transition into their fall pattern. Lots of bait in the creeks and active fish if you found the right creek. They were on cover that was very obvious the best cover on the bank you were fishing. Hope this helps you if you venture over tot Truman lake soon. Lake is about 2.5 ft low so a lot to most if the trees are showing, now is a great time to learn the lake.
Omnia FishingBronze AmbassadorSpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueStructure JigsSeasonSummerStructureStumpsI've been flipping pole timber with an Outkast Cage Feider. Haven't found a pattern within the pattern. Just flip all the outside standing timber. I go awhile between bites, but they are quality bites !
