Largemouth BassTechniqueSwim JigsSeasonSummerStructureSubmerged VegetationFan casting this over and over above grass and through grass was all I needed to do. This comes through grass really well! The Derek over at Beast Coast designed one of the best swim jigs out there, and it quite possibly be the best! I paired it up with a Lunker City 3inch Karate Craw, and the result is a winning combination! Once I cleared the grass patch the bass hammered it! I’ve caught more fish on this color than any other color. Fun to fish with and easy to fish it!

There was a time when the Bandit 200 was one of the top crankbaits to throw on the elite series! It was in everyone’s tackle box and fished religiously! There are still some anglers out there who know that this sneaky lure is a fish catching machine and they still use it! It didn’t take long for me to catch this bass running the Bandit 200 over rocks and near sparse grass patches. It smoked the Bandit and that was all she wrote! It’s fun to fish and it’s durable. Tie one on and go have some fun!

Don’t fall asleep on a Colorado blade in the summer! It is so much fun to throw especially on a breezy day! I casted near some grass patches on the bottom. Water depth was less than seven feet and I cranked this through middle of the water column. I did that for several casts and no strikes. Next cast on the retrieve, I burned it, then stopped then burned again and then felt the fish just crush it. The Berkley Power Stinger is my top choice for a trailer and it is awesome. The scent, it looks good, and it’s durable.

Smallmouth were plentiful on most main lake points. Fished the rocks where they would run into a submerged tree and work the worm and around the tree and get bit right at free coming into contact with the tree. Caught a few on tubes and beastcoast hybrid jigs.
