Largemouth BassTechniqueFrogs/ToadsSeasonSummerStructureLily PadsFishing early Father's Day morning, 6/19/2022. Was very windy this morning and day. Fish definitely up shallow early morning biting on top-water. Switched over to a frog as the sun got stronger and found a bite. Caught a couple decent fish near docks/pads and lost a few others. Tried out the Big Gabot and caught the first few bass on a new frog to me!

During the hot months of the summer the larger bass will move out to the deeper rock piles and humps located on various spots on Medicine. When you locate these spots tie on a deep diving crankbait and work the area well. This should yield some quality fish. You can also try dragging a football jig over the same spot to add a few more bites.
OmniavoreBronze AmbassadorSpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Worming)SeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureDocksWacky worm bass in my tiny SoloCraft. They were hungry this day so didn’t have to throw wacky to get bites but it’s a great technique when tiny boat can get very close to docks this time of the year. 3lbs 6 ounces. A PB for me. I see 4+lbs being caught on this lake so I’ve got work to do.

AverageJoePBronze AmbassadorSpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueSoft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium)SeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructurePointsBass were just finished spawning. The bass I saw on beds were not aggressive at all. Found a point with a large flat around 5-8ft on the east side of the lake that you could see pan fish and pike everywhere. Fan casted around and caught about a dozen 1lbers and found a 3.5lb and 4.5lber. Water was green but you could see the bottom in 12ft of water with full sun.

Fishing date of 5/22/2022. Cool morning, wake up temp of 48, got up to low 50's and was fairly breezy. Was out about 4 hours. Caught about 8 bass, 3-ish pike. Water temps around 60 up to about 62. Bass seemed to be spawning somewhat, but not all. Definitely caught some pre-spawners as well. Caught some fish on a jerkbait, but primarily more finesse on a ned rig around some docks. Mostly caught small and medium bass. Did see some larger fish on beds, but always tended to be after it was too late and spooked them. Then they had no interest.
