Largemouth BassTechniqueFrogs/ToadsSeasonSummerStructureMatted GrassBurning a frog across the matted rice can produce good numbers of fish with some quality mixed in. Working the frog fast allows you to cover lots of water. If a fish misses the frog, follow up with a light jig, they should commit.

WalleyeTechniqueNed RigsSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureSubmerged VegetationTried swimbaits, hardbaits, and more, (no live bait in the boat) and the only thing to get bit was a ned rig.

Was a tough bite. Found a pile of walleyes on livescope up on the sand flats in 11-14 feet, but had to dangle a leech in front of their faces to get them to eat. They didn't care about any other baits falling right in front of their faces. Slip bobbers and live bait would've worked well too.
