Largemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Pitch/Flip)SeasonSummerStructureSubmerged VegetationThe Trokar TK130 is the best heavy cover flippin’ hook in my opinion and the 4/0 size is the best overall for most craws and creature baits. During the summer/fall transition in Canada fish are on the move I really like pitching to rocks, coontail, wood, docks, and cabbage weed with this set up. 30 lb Vicious no-Fade Braid in 2-10 feet of water.

If you want to catch walleyes on lake of the woods in August or any other Canadian shield lake. Fish a 1/4 oz jig tipped with live bait on main lake humps in 20-27 feet of water. This tactic produced over a dozen walleyes in an hour - 6-7 pm all 16-19 inches. The ultimate tactic to put dinner on the table! Hard to beat good old 8 lb Vicious Ultimate mono line for affordability and ease of use.

One of my favourite ways to catch Canadian largemouth in heavy weeds and cover. I recommend 30 lb Vicious No Fade Braid and a 76MHMF St.Croix Legend Xtreme Flipping Stick (I chose 74HF as it's also popular and 76 wasn't an option in the dropdown). This presentation requires the best and most sensitive rods you can afford for ultimate feel and bite detection in heavy cover.

A great bait for covering water, especially during overcast days when fish are shallow and there's some wind. A 1/2 oz chatterbait with a Venom Lures donkey snatcher trailer and 30 lb braid is great for ripping through the deep coontail and weeds. The 7'2 HM Glass rod in eater the Mojo or Legend is a perfect rod for the job !

Fish were set up on offshore points and mixed in with walleyes. Pretty much find a wind blown point and send the drop shot down. Was repeatable all day. Caught 30+ fish. W
