Largemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Worming)SeasonSummerStructureLily PadsWent out from Toho Marina to the left and started fishing the grass and lily pads on the right before having to turn to go down the lake. I was throwing a Yum Dinger in green pumpkin with a chartuse tail weightless in the grass and pads with the bite coming just as it cleared the vegetation. I had 3 in the boat at 610, 9 overall and was off the water before 9am.
Russell SandersBronze AmbassadorSpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueHard JerkbaitsSeasonSummerStructureMatted GrassFind any isolated type grass around mid lake 5 to 8ft deep. Use a watermelon red Fluke with a #3 or 4 heavy wire hook. Put a swivel about 12 inches in front. Cast in the grass. Let it sit for a minute. Then start twitching it back about 10 ft. Pause and repeat. Once on the outside edge let the Fluke sink to the bottom and twitch it back to the boat. DO NOT WORK THIS FAST. I use 20lb braid on a 3000 reel with a 10ft 15lb mono leader, 7ft Med Hvy spinning rod. When you hook up and you can't get their head up to surf them back go in a get it. Keep a tight line and pin them to the top of the grass. It acts like a wet blanket and holds them there.

Fished behind Paradise Island and got 3 in a couple hours that I was able to fish, 4.05lbs, pictured, 3.13lbs and another that was around a pound and a half. All were caught on the Gambler worm, missed 3 before I got the first one and a few others as well as a couple that got off after wrapping me up in the vegetation.

Put 7 in the boat today, got broke off on hook set twice, worm stolen and missed a few. Fished in about 4 feet of water and threw up near shore and worked it back through the weeds or fished along the weed line. First one, pictured, was the biggest at 3.48lbs. Got him fishing between the islands near Shingle Creek along with 4 others in that area. Went to another place but water was still too low, so I went down Shingle Creek and got 2 more. Water was running out of Shingle Creek which made it a little harder to fish, but was able to get in and out on the big motor today, just hug the left side on the way in and the right coming back out, it gets down to just under 2 feet.

🔥🥵 IT’S HOT! ☀️Launching from Whaleys Landing, there are top water spots along the grass edge right outside the canal going north and south. Kissimmee grass, sparse if you can find it, is perfect for frogs all day. The under water vegetation is thick to find the edge have to go our 50 yards from where it was in the last month. You will see the line of boats out on it. Swimming worms cast across the top of the grass and then let to drop at the edge get results. It is a normal summer pattern with some schools running those edges, look for the boils on the surface away from the thicker grass and that will be the schools. Take a cooler with water, then take another bag with water to refill the cooler. !!

Fished in a tournament, got to fish the area outside Goblets Cove along the reeds and open water with a Biobait Enticer worm in watermelon red and got 11 total, biggest was 4.11lbs, pictured with the next biggest. Started fishing the edges of the reeds and pads getting 3 and then just threw out towards the middle of the lake and caught the rest of them along a drop off and a shell bed. Flipped a watermelon red craw some and got broke off and missed a few in the pads and reeds.yum
