TechniqueGrass JigsSeasonSummerStructureLily PadsStraight retrieving the swim jig through grass with a little shake occasionally, mostly targeted protruding points of Kissimmee grass and Lilly pads with lots of bird activity. Tried a spunk shad trailer but kept getting hung up so I put a Net bait Paca Craw Jr in green pumpkin on there and it came through much cleaner.

Largemouth Bass
TechniqueSoft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium)SeasonFallStructureSubmerged VegetationThe chain had a lot of pressure dealing with the high school state championship tournament as well as the college tournament as well as opening day for practice for the bassmasters open. With that being said, I was able to find some vibrant hydrilla in south lake griffin with plenty of threadfin shad. A flashy swimmer with the 3.5” largo shad (tail segment left intact) was able to get bites when nothing else was. My boater was throwing speed worms, spinnerbaits, flukes, and lipless crank baits. The largo shad was all they wanted to bite on. With that one bait, I was able to get 16.47lbs in the boat and onto the scales for the win during that tournament. The dock talk proved that everyone else was struggling while I had bite after bite with the bigs being 5.5 & 4.5lbs.
