Practice for the Tackle Warehouse Invitational on Ky And Barkley. I was able to catch a lot of fish on the Wacky Rig during practice.. I was using the 12lb Mastiff as my leader and it worked great. They really wanted the black and blue Berkeley General. Skip it out in front of shallow wood cover and watch your line run off.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Pitch/Flip)SeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureFlooded BrushI fished Stop 3 of the Tackle Warehouse Invitationals. Day 1 I had 14.2 and Day 2 I had 10. A Cold front had pushed through since practice and killed my big bite. I caught several fish both days or the tournament multiple different ways. Most bites were fish on beds around buck brush and lay downs. I caught some cranking shallow points and throwing a walking bait on flats. Spinnerbait was good in the stake beds. But flipping a tube or lizard seemed to be the way I caught most of my fish.
