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.

Throwing around cover in the shade was key. Lay downs and brush piles in the shad right up on the bank and throwing uptight to boat dock and boat houses in the heavily shaded sides and where dock floats and boat at the dock meet.

Jigging off the bottom in the north end of lake Lanier in about 15 feet of water using a zoom super fluke Arkansas shiner on a Berkeley, 1/4 ounce jig head in white. Paint the gill plates red, they really like that. Caught them until I ran out of bait. Zoom flukes last about two fish on a jig head.
