Largemouth BassTechniqueWacky RigsSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureSubmerged VegetationBass were in 3-6' of water in the weeds. Best bite was east side where it drops off more rapidly. Sat in 10-12' water and casted toward the shore. I used XZone 6" sticks with laminated chartreuse/green and pink/green. It's probably the green pumpkin that made the difference.

Went to Ann Lake for the first time in 2022. Downsizing our creature soft plastics really made the difference. It created the bites that we wanted. Find the healthiest and thickest vegetation, and you'll find the mamas.

Slow bite post cold front but some better LMB in the pads.

Got out a bit later last night (6:30pm) because it was so hot. Tried working a frog and flipping some grass with no luck. Got my only bites on a drop shot on the weed lines. Key was to get it in the weeds and work it out. I am still working on my drop shotting skills so I missed a few and had a few strikes as I was reeling it in.

Northern PikeTechniqueInline SpinnersSeasonFallStructureSubmerged VegetationLake Ann holds lots of pike. Fall has always been a great time to target pike there. This past weekend, I used Z-Man Chatter baits with Rage Craw Trailers and Spinnerbaits to get excellent numbers of pike in my kayak. Burning these blade baits through and over vegetation triggered reaction strikes.

Took the kayak for a morning outing. Used the mini chatterbait with a trailer and tossed it along the weed lines near the dock. Caught several medium size LM bass.

The bass were in schools off the edge of the lily pads in submerged vegetation. I threw my chatter bait parallel to the lily pads. A cold front came in the day before and the bites were less than aggressive, but I got a few to chew!
