Largemouth BassTechniqueFrogs/ToadsSeasonSummerStructureMatted GrassFished the north end grass since a tournament was going on and the south end was congested. Pre-frontal with east winds so we started with Texas rigged magnum trick worms. Good success on smaller fish in the 2-3 lbs range. Cloud cover moved in and we started throwing frogs. My first time using and Toad thumper brand and it lived up to the hype. 40 minutes of good cloud cover and that frog got hit 4 times and all 4 hooked up. Walked amazingly well over thick mat and the Berkeley x9 braid is the best casting braid I’ve ever thrown. Sun came back out and the frog bite died but we were able to get bites on a whale swim bait with an under spin. Found a few blue gill beds and switched our whales to a gill color and found a few more quality bass.

Working points with the 6 sense Carolina pre rig and a zoom super fluke. Straight white seemed to be the bait of choice. Best bites came on retrieves working the fluke like a jerk bait fast.

Pretty slow, the water level is really low but it is pretty clear. The bass in the picture is one of two that I caught in three days of fishing. Both were caught on spinnerbaits with Googan Squad Bandito Bugs as trailers. Most fish that we were marking were at around 8-13 feet down, suspended in about 20 feet of water around all the stumps.

Bass feeding on spawning shad up against the banks in the early monring. White swimbaits effective. This may end soon.

SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Worming)SeasonSummerStructureStumpsLate May Bassmaster Elite tournament and lots of things were going on at Lake Fork. In practice I caught fish cranking offshore, on topwater walking baits shallow, jerkbaits on points, and flipping trees and docks. In the tournament, my most consistent bite was flipping trees and stumps in 2-8ft of water with a jig or big plastic worm. I also caught some key fish on docks. Fishing tree lines or isolated trees/stumps around points were key. The fish I was targeting seemed to be coming off the spawn and were pulling out into these areas on their way offshore to summertime areas. I was finding them in transition so new fish seemed to show up each day.
