Largemouth BassTechniqueHard Topwater (Walking)SeasonFallStructureLaydownsTossing the Spook Boyo all day against the bank next to laydowns paid off. Caught a bunch of shorts, and a handful of quality fish. Water is low, and temps were around 54F. Fished before the cold front that moved in today. Air temps were nice, and it was partly clouded.

Air temp had warmed up from the day before, with a little bit of wind and over cast cloud coverage. I was throwing the minimax right up on the bank and both swimming it and dragging along the bottom bumping rocks that was triggering strikes. The Zman Streakz is THE best trailer for these tiny chatterbaits, and they last forever.

Nice hefty fella. Couldn't hardly get him in kayak, nearly bent my net handle. I love this weedless Owner #2 Sniper hook. Can't beat em for working the edge of laydowns. Limb snags happen, but much more rarely. This fish was lurking in a cedar treetop half submerged from Bank. Wanted to go back in. Fought to keep him out. This is my personal best so far. 20.50 inches.

Fishing the wacky rig right up next to flood timber away from the bank yielded a fun day on the water. Junebug colored in stained water with spinning gear and the new Mustad Alpha Point's was king.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueSwim JigsSeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureStanding TimberWorking a swim jig in between the bank and cypress trees got me bit a few times. Water temp was 78F, and water was muddy on the north end. Carp were spawning, so you had to find a section of bank where they weren’t.
