Largemouth BassTechniqueFinesse JigsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureSubmerged VegetationIt was heavy submerged vegetation in shallow water. They were sucked up against the small heavy walls or edges in 2-4' fow. The water was clear and it was raining. The rain helped me get a little closer, but I still was casting a good distance. They were hitting anything with some finesse. I didn't have as much luck with heavy bait. All the bass caught seemed to be the bucks.
