Largemouth BassTechniqueSoft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium)SeasonWinterStructureBrush PilesThe water was not fishing well. I couldn’t escape the hybrids. They seem to be taking over the entire Harris chain. Only caught one decent fish maybe 3lbs.

In late winter, just before largemouth get active for pre-spawn a great technique is to finesse them with a drop shot. This works especially well in frontal conditions. Since you're dealing with potentially huge fish, you'll want a pretty heavy finesse set up. I like 10lb braided seaguar 832 main line with a 10lb seaguar invisx leader. The owner covershot hook is perfect for this technique tipped with your favorite straight tail work, I prefer the zoom trick worm. The trick is to find thick isolated clumps of hydrilla on your side imaging and target those with accurate casts. You may loose a few because of the light set up, but you'll also get bit when nothing else will work.

To start this review... I will say the fishing was TOUGH! The fish were in a transitional period which made the bites pretty few. Started out on the shell bars with the DT10 and caught a couple dinks. Then went to flipping Senkos and Sweet Beavers in the grass... NOTHING!... So at this point its time to pick up the bite getter. Wacky Rigged Senko!!! And we went to some of the major residential canals/community holes and caught 9 fish all around the 1.5-2.5 lb size. Overall a VERY tough day, was happy to have the few bites we got.

Best luck we had was dragging Carolina rigged trick worms super slowly on points with lots of current and shell beds. You really had to keep contact with your baits due to super light strikes.

We managed to catch a few tossing Texas rigged craws along weed edges. Pretty slow tho. Some luck was had throwing Carolina rigs along offshore weed edges or shell beds. Mainly senkos but some on speed worms.

Managed to catch a few decent fish fishing on offshore shell beds. Very slow. There was a cold front that came through which caused the fish to not want to cooperate. If you slowly drug the Carolina rig along shell beds or weed edges, they would bite. Very soft bites.
