Largemouth BassTechniqueDrop ShotSeasonSummerStructureSubmerged VegetationFished this morning from the kayak for about 5 hours. Caught 4 largemouth bass between 12-14in. Sunny day with some wind, water is extremely clear here. I was struggling fishing the standing timber, getting snagged and no bites. I ended up switching to fishing submerged weeds on the north side and caught all my bass there. I targeted 10-15ft depth and dropoffs in the weeds.

It was a typical post spawn day of fishing when the wacky rigged senko was can't miss. Some were caught flipping and dropshotting also but the wacky rigged Berkley maxscent general was the dominant presentation. Nothing real big was caught as it mostly 1-2 pounders but there were a few solid ones pushing 3 pounds caught and of course a couple of even bigger ones that were unfortunately lost during battle but hey, that's fishing. All in all it was a non stop day of fun.

The spawn was on and I came across some big girls that were sitting on beds. Didn't spend a lot of time trying to entice them but did manage to get several males pitching a rage bug and throwing a wacky rigged senko. Did manage to pick off this 3.5 pounder that I assume wasn't ready to spawn yet. Was a fun day all in all.

Fishing was a grind on Manasquan reservoir this weekend. Fish were tough to come by. Did manage to boat a couple fishing submerged vegetation. One drop shotting a wacky rigged yum dinger and another texas rigging an 11 inch Keitech mad wag long worm. Both off shore in 5-10 ft of water.
