Flipping into Kissimmee Grass and jigging a few times bass were hitting it hard and moving off with bait. Good day of fishing.

Locate shellbeds or hydrilla outside of spawning canals. Drag a carolina rigged creature/speed worm slowly across the bottom for big bites. Use side imaging and 2d sonar to locate shell and grass.

SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Pitch/Flip)SeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureReedsFish were in the pre-spawn, spawn and post-spawn phase on Lake Dora. I was fishing cattails, reeds, arrowhead and pads in 0-3ft of water on the main lake. Fish would slide up on main lake banks to spawn along the heavy vegetation. They would find little holes or pockets in the vegetation to spawn in. You couldn't always see the beds so pitching to open areas in the vegetation was key. I caught lots of smaller buck males, but every so often you would run into a bigger female. Having a mix of vegetation in the area was key to getting bites. I used a 1/2oz or 3/4oz texas rig and switched between fluorocarbon and braided lines depending on the thickness of the cover I was fishing.
