Largemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Worming)SeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureLaydownsWater visibility was good (5-6 feet). Wind light out of the SW. Few fish on beds yet. Many buck males cruising the shade line in spawning pockets. Targeted laydowns extending into deeper water. Used weightless 5" Senko Texas rigged, D-Bomb with only a 1/4 oz weight, or 1/2 oz shad colored Pulsator. Stikes were subtle takes, even on the spinnerbait.

Working pockets with laydowns 6 to 10ft into water have shown promise for best size of fish. Flipping all stucture within this depth zone leading into spawnimg areas will give great success.
