Largemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Pitch/Flip)SeasonSummerStructureSubmerged VegetationLook for bass in 8-12 FOW in submerged weed beds. Slow dragging large worms or flipping the weed edges with creature baits seems to be HOT right now. The bass are schooling and it can be fast and furious when you find them.

This lake can literally change overnight. The homeowners had the vast majority of the weeds removed which made fishing this lake very different. There's lots of structure around the shore, and that's where to look on sunny, hot summer days. The water was clear this spring and now has an algae bloom, so use darker and/or brighter colors. I had a lot of success with the XZone 6" stick in summer craw rigged wacky. I worked it horizontal from the shore into 2-3' of water.

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.

I did something new I haven't tried but had the set up to do. I tried the wacky rig and did very well dropping it in matted holes. Depth ranged from 3' to 8' of water. I usually work at deeper levels during the summer, I was surprised how well the wacky rig did. I'm sold!

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.
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.

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.
