Largemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Worming)SeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureRiver ChannelsFirst club tournament in my life in La Crosse! Cold, sleeting, and camping that weekend. What did I learn? Fish current, rocks, and any cover. Change up your presentations until you figure out the pattern. Learn to slow down and speed up when fishing. PS: look out for trees and debris. The river changes all the time. If you want more information, contact me at reelingwithrigo on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.

Placed 22nd out of 45 boats fishing deeper weedlines for largemouth. The key to getting these fish to bite were to try and keep your bait in the strike zone for a long as possible to fool these fish into biting.
