Largemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Worming)SeasonSummerStructureSubmerged VegetationFishing shallow grass with a big worm produced the biggest bites. Caught some using a frog as well. Fish were chasing bait over deep water but could get any to bite.

Early morning bite before was up high. Going down the bank slowly walking the frog. Some bites even happened when would stop and let bait soak for a few seconds. 2-4 ft mud bottom. Some areas of bank had trees over hanging.

Water temps ranged from 65-69 degrees depending on how far back into the creeks I went. It was an over cast day with air temps topping out at 65 degrees with a solid 10 mph wind all day. I covered a ton of water and caught 20+ that day, but only managed to catch four keepers with one being a kicker.

My quality bites all came on a jig early in the morning around stumps, followed up later on docks with a wacky rig all 10 feet or less in depth. Water is really clear for this lake right now, so trying to be as natural as possible helped.

Lake level was full after a heavy rain that made the upper lake a mudhole. I saw temps from 52-55, and caught all of my fish in less than 5 feet of water right up next to cover. The bite was tough, but the quality was there. I'd recommend focusing wood right now whether it's docks or laydowns. Fish should be pulled up on the wood pretty tight with the water being chocolate milk.
