Largemouth BassTechniqueNed RigsSeasonSummerStructureSubmerged VegetationStarted hitting shallow water next to the pads with a crankbait and chatterbait. Couple of smaller fish hit the chatterbait. Moved to the south end of the lake where the wind was blowing towards and saw tons of baitfish making ripples on top. Scanned with the livescope and there were tons of fish feeding. Tossed a Z-man chatter bait and continuously reeled in multiple largemouth bass with the biggest one being 3.02#. Switched over to the Ned Rig with a senko cut in half as the bait and lights out! Cast after cast was a hit. Key is to let the Ned Rig drop to the bottom and make small twitching moves with your rod tip. Triggers them to hit!

Bass are post-spawn. Partly sunny day with some wind, water temps are 65-66. Glide baits tend to work well on Lake Ann. Right now a lot of bass will cruise or set up on the inside weed line in 2-3ft of water and they go after the bluegills, especially along the east shoreline. Bluegills will have beds all over the place right up against shore. Trying to sight fish the bass is tough, they don't like when you get close. A drop shot along the weedline in 9-11ft was getting bit as well.

Went out Sunday evening of opener weekend. Submerged vegetation and lily pads haven't grown much yet. Water temp was 63-64 degrees. Looked in 3 spots where prespawn fish would likely be and it was quiet. Then went to see if Bass were up on beds and sure enough, pulled in a big female that had recently spawned on the first cast in that area. She chased down a white buzzbait with a Spunk Shad trailer. I then left that area alone and enjoyed the sunset as I paddled back to the access.

SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Pitch/Flip)SeasonSummerStructureSubmerged VegetationNumbers were caught on a Texas rig around the color line, 8ft-11ft deep. When the wind was up and cloud cover was present, a squarebill ripped through the tops of the milfoil was getting bites in the same areas. Tried a dt10 on the weedline as well but only got 1 with that. A dropshot on the outside of the weedline was getting bites. The deep coontail 17ft-20ft was quiet today. Docks were holding good fish as well... the shad color senko has been the hotbait for wacky rig colors this year on Ann. A more subtle action was key, the rage menace outperformed the rage bug and Yamamoto cowboy by far today.

In 10’ of water. Great bite on the drop. Didn’t have time to do any retrieve. Caught 3 fish over 15” in 10 minutes.

This is a great lake for the kayak... Got on a good spinnerbait bite in late Sept. overcast & breezy. Fish were cruising shallow 1-6' deep. Caught about 20 bass between 17-20". Most went for a 3/8oz shad color double willow blade with a 3.8 keitech swimbait trailer. Smaller fish were hitting underspins. Bigger fish went for an upsized 1/2 oz spinnerbait as well as 6" swimbaits.

Had a great early morning bite. Was able to hook up 2 times but sadly was only able to land one 18.5 inch bass on the hula popper and lost one after he wrapped me up in some Lilly pads and spit the hook. You can’t win them all but it sure is fun trying!!! Over all a pretty good 4 hours of fishing
