Largemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Worming)SeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureSubmerged VegetationCaught 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.

The 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.
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.

Caught some fish today fishing shallow scattered weed clumps with a bladed jig. Green pumpkin bladed jig with black blade , paired with a black/blue trailer. Pretty stained water at the moment with the start of an algae bloom.

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.

The homeowners association has completed their late spring weed removal which means the bass are either deep or up shallow under docks and trees. A wacky rig thrown in the shade is the ticket this time of year.

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.
