- Species
Largemouth Bass
TechniqueHard Topwater (Prop)SeasonSummerStructureMatted GrassWindy day out on the water led me to throw topwater around grass mats. Day temps still hot but nights are getting cooler, hopefully the topwater action starts heating up! Water temps were 73. Also caught some bass on 10” worm fishing them slowly along weed edges.

TechniqueSoft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium)SeasonSummerStructureSubmerged VegetationI caught this big Largemouth Bass on a bluegill-colored swimbait. I cast my lure by a yellow raft near the bank and this girl smashed it. It fought very hard for its size. I had a blast catching it.

Largemouth Bass
TechniqueTexas Rigs (Pitch/Flip)SeasonSummerStructureSubmerged VegetationSummer patterns on little muskego leave me either deep cranking or dragging weedless Texas rigs near deep weeds. This trip out was the latter, fishing 10’-15’ of water near weed edges of wind blown drop offs. On windier days when the water is stirred up and murky I go with black/blue creature baits or worms, calm days or when the water is clearer I use green pumpkin or green pumpkin watermelon flake. Anytime I try and fish shallow during the dog days of summer I find myself catching smaller fish, so I stick to the deeper breaks and weed lines to target the better class of fish.
- Species
