Species
Largemouth BassTechniqueGrass JigsSeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureReedsThe wildfire smoke haze kept the light level down to a mostly cloudy to partly sunny condition, and temperatures relatively cool. Good numbers and quality largemouth were biting jigs and craw trailers at the edges of reeds, near channel bullrushes, and skipped under docks. A few keeper smallmouth on topwater near the reeds too.

I was fishing a Tokyo rig with a 3/8 out tungsten barrel weight. Casting into submerged vegetation and letting it sit and then pulling through slowly.

It was windy so I was using a heavier then normal ned rig in 6-10 feet of water around humps and reefs. They wouldn't commit to moving baits but they help find them. Follow them up with a ned rig with you favorite trailer and you're golden!! If you have forward facing sonar that is also a huge help with finding them

Fish were active in shallow rocky areas and over bluegill beds on buzz baits. Follow up baits included BassTek jigs, Yamamoto 4" GP Senko as a jigworm, Jackhammer chatterbaits, and ned rigs.

Seems to be the tail end of smallmouth spawn right now (6/9/20). Found smallies in 4-8ft of water on sand/gravel flats. I caught them with a nose hooked Green Pumpkin zman finesse TRD on a drop shot rig.

Largemouth bass can be found in Washington in very good size. While other guys were working on those bedding smallmouth bass in 5 feet of water, I found largemouth bass by skipping and pitching jigs under docks and into the pencil reeds. I've had the occasional smallmouth catch on those reeds too. I found bigger green fish were on the docks, though. You can also get quality largemouth here skipping senkos under the docks or into the reeds.

Flipping grass with a BFE and using a dropshot on the edges produced multiple bites despite hot temperatures. Size of fish was limited to under 17".
