It was really slow this evening, summer patterns seem like they’ve shut off but they definitely aren’t in the fall feeding frenzy yet. One bass on a frog alongside a dock and the other two hit a chatterbait on the fall.

Once Summer hits on this lake, there are two predominant patterns for quality & quantity of bass bites. Finesse fishing on deep weed edges and bottom transition areas with jig worms, drop shots and neko rigs. Fish light line & often times super slow is the best. Your other alternative is to flip thick milfoil and coontail clumps with heavy punch rigs or jigs and cover water until you can find mini-schools. Natural colors seem best on this lake.

Weed edges and clumps, wacky dropshot produced quality and several bites and an outkast chicken jig produced biggest bite of the evening over scattered weed clumps.

PJ PiotrowskiBronze AmbassadorSpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueBladed JigsSeasonSummerStructureSubmerged VegetationFind the deep grass line (8-12 ft) and look for thicker clumps and hard defined edges. My dad put a hurting on them ripping a chatterbait through the top of the grass. I fished slow dragging a Carolina rig and a drop shot off the edge of the grass. It wasn’t hot and heavy, but when you got bit there were usually a few fish in the same area.
