Largemouth BassTechniqueWacky RigsSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureLaydownsOnly had a few hours to get out so kept it simple and locked the wacky rig in hand. Stayed pretty shallow and targeted any wood or structure I could find in 2-4 ft of water. Pattern delivered good number of bites including a nice 3+ lber

Moving baits were the hot bite. Wind was blowing 25 mph and water temps were mid 50’s, so focused on tucking into bays and throwing spinnerbaits on weed edges and along the edge of reeds in 4-8 ft of water. Another key bait was throwing squarebills at shallow structure

Smallmouth cruising transition between submerged vegetation and rock. Water was very clear and I was able to sight fish them with a Roboworm.

Found good numbers of LMB on the deep weed edge with Neds and Drop Shot but maximum size was 16".
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueNed RigsSeasonSummerStructureSubmerged VegetationBoth wacky rigs and Ned rigs produced fish. The wacky rigs produced the bigger fish. Work them from the inside edge of the weeds (2-3') to the outside edge (10-12'). Wacky rigs produced the biggest fish around the lily pads. I would have stuck with the wacky all day if the wind would have allowed.
