Largemouth BassTechniqueShallow Diving Crankbaits (0-6')SeasonFallStructureSubmerged VegetationHad a pretty good evening for both size and numbers. Found the bass on clumps of cabbage in 6-10 feet using a chatterbait and flatside crankbait. After finding them with these moving baits, we caught a few following up with a roboworm on a dropshot and shakeyhead. Tried an Armajoint swimbait at the end of the evening and caught a few nicer bass on it.

A "gem" of a twin cities lake, De Montreville offers a great opportunity to fish many different ways. I have had luck on connecting with many largemouth bass on Texas rigs here. Sunfish quantity is very high on this lake so lighter, natural colors work best. Green pumpkin yields the most fish in my experience. Explore the lake to find patches of the thickest grass, preferably near deep water. Pitching a 1/2 oz and letting bait drop to the bottom on a SLACK line will get bites. Be ware of the high northern pike population in this lake as well - many smaller "hammer handles" in my experience on this body of water.

working the fronts and side of docks with a jackhammer 3/8 oz chatterbait produced some chunky largemouth bass.

Fish were in the cabbage 6-8'. There was a good bite, until the fog burned off. The sun pushed them deeper into the weeds.

Fish were all caught in 6-8' of water. Try to cover as much water as you can.

Weightless salty Yamamoto baits tossed against the grassline and standout vegetation was the ticket. Winner of the day was the Fat Ika rigged backwards. On the fall it swims away from you right into the target structure.

Mid summer time the bass can be commonly found on the weed lines in this lake and others throughout Minnesota. Find the weed line on this lake and cast parallel to it with a crankbait of your choice. Straight retrieve worked the best for this day and we were able to cover a lot of water. On this day this technique produced a handful of quality and a lot of quantity of bass.
