Largemouth Bass
TechniqueShakey HeadsSeasonSummerStructureStanding TimberFish all over points 10-15 ft of water. Very finicky eaters. The main thing I could catch them on is the shakey head trick worm. Could see them on livescope chasing 3 inch swimbaits. I fished the seneca river arm. Not a topwater bite to be found. Fished 8 hrs and only 1 time did I see fish busting bait.
