Largemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Worming)SeasonSummerStructureLaydownsWas semi slow, caught 4 in about 5hrs this 3lber being largest, walking shoreline casting to every log or fallen tree I saw, letting the danger sink all the way down and sit motionless for 5-10sec before twitching, most bites came in that time of sitting on ground, super slow was the key.

HuntertappoutdoorsBronze AmbassadorSpeciesSpotted BassTechniqueHard Topwater (Walking)SeasonSummerStructureBrush PilesLake Lanier is covered in brush in the 20 - 25 ft range key locations are under browns bridge. Key colors chrome and bone . The setup . Tatula elite 7.1 makes casting a breeze allows you to make far cast with little effort. 7.1 speed is plenty fast for walking the shower blow . The line , braid will be a big factor using it you keep the big spots pinned . It will also aid if you get ran in the brush . The Rod I like a 7 ft med hvy with load in the tip with back bone the soft tip works with the braid to get great hook penetration.
