Largemouth BassTechniqueBladed JigsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureSubmerged VegetationFished this bait over weeds and on the weed edge. Fish were not quite pushing up to spawn but water was in the low 60’s already!
Anthony HeimkesBronze AmbassadorSpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueNed RigsSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureSubmerged VegetationThe large mouth were biting in and around the 12'-14' mark above the submerged vegetation. The real trick was finding the sandy areas amongst the vegetation and slowly dragging the Ned Bait along and popping it into and through the vegetation
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueWacky RigsSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureDocksThe bass were shallow, between 1-5'. I found them under tree overhangs, under docks, and within 10' of shore. There's a thick blanket of emerging vegetation at 3-9' water. Once you get inside that it opens up a bit, making the wacky approach easier. The water is very clear.

Bass were in ~6' water, just inside the dense outer weeds. Once I found them I was able to catch multiple in the same area. A larger green/yellow tube worked best, and I rigged it weedless.

Caught skinny post-spawn fish up shallow with Senkos and drop shots. The curly leaf pondweed was thick to 8 feet, but action was poor on the deep weedline.

Good size 16-18' LM caught on the weed's edge using a green pumpkin craw tube. The lake association has had the weed cutter out. While the weeds are reduced, there are quite a few floating around right now.

SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueShakey HeadsSeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureSubmerged VegetationBass were shallow, in 2-5' of water. Caught all mine within 5 yards of shore. The weed cutter was out today cutting weeds out of the docks by the south shore. It'll be a little easier to fish the docks and shoreline there, and that'll be a good location when the trees provide shade. I caught bass with shakey head rigged with a XZone finesse worm, and wacky with a 6" XZone stick. reds, purples, and blues seemed to work. The sky was a bit overcast, so darker colors were needed.
