Largemouth BassTechniqueFinesse JigsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureRock PileLaunched at callville bay and fished most of the rocky coves just outside the marina, there i found some pockets inside coves where fish would ambush my jig if positioned correctly. lighting and presentation was key, when they bit, they were quality fish but the bite was slow. 5 fish all day, each around 16inches.

Fishing in Las Vegas Wash, find the bushes that are the furthest out in the backs of coves or pockets and cast all around them with a spinnerbait or crankbait

This tournament day at T-Bar I was able to land 4 decent keepers on an underspin/swimjig combo made by megabass with a megabass shad trailer. The key to these bites I felt were slowly creeping the bait across the bottom around 17-22ft near humps, points, and walls. Cast, wait, let it drop, then creep it along. mixed bag: both smallies and largemouth took to this approach.
