Largemouth BassTechniqueWacky RigsSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureSubmerged VegetationFish were not in the front part of the bay by the docks yet. Water temp was only 63 at the surface. A few small males way up by shore but that was all. No action on moving baits. Decided to check out the back of the bay since water is shallower there. Found a spot where water lily's were just starting to emerge and water was 68. Found largemouth around the lily's and out deeper.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueNeko RigsSeasonSummerStructureSubmerged VegetationUsing 360 to find irregularities in the coontail edge helped to produce a lot of quality fish. Both the neko and jig worm were producing. Neither one really out-fished the other. Both using a GP Zoom trick worm. The jig worm did seem to keep the buttoned up a little better though. Couple nice smallmouth mixed in off the same stuff.
