Largemouth Bass
TechniqueWacky RigsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureDocksMy son and I were able to put four 2-2.5 lbs. largemouths in the boat in about 2 hrs. of fishing using mostly unweighted wacky rigged senkos near the docks. I also had a 30"+ northern follow a crankbait to the boat, and ended up catching a 2 lb. smalley on the fluke I threw at the pike. That was the only smalley we caught on this trip. The water is steadily warming up, so things reakkt should kick off soon.
