Largemouth BassTechniqueWacky RigsSeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureDocksIf catching small fish is your thing this is a Great Lake more 11”-13” then you will know what to do with. Only docks I didn’t get a bite was the docks with the signs that they have sprayed the weeds.

Flipping underneath boat motors and next to dock posts, hop the bait of the bottom so it rips through the weeds, half the time the fish would take the bait on the down fall and you could see your line run. Docks with steeper drop offs worked best with medium weed cover.

The bass were thick in the lily pads. We caught them cast after cast. Did not see any on the beds. We would cast out and let the worm soak for a few seconds and a bass would pick it up. We caught many 12-14 inch bass and a few up to 3 pounds. I think there were a lot of fry guarders present. We have been catching some on inside weed edges in sandy areas also using wacky worms and ned rigs. We used 15 lb fluorocarbon for the wacky worms in the pads and 10 lb fluorocarbon for the ned rigs.

Fishing was super tough but managed to find a few up shallow on the docks and matted grass. The biggest was 4 and caught multiple that were close to that size. Jig was the main deal getting way under the docks were there was clean bottom.

Pick your favorite 1/16oz jig head and 2" plastic and start fan casting until you find them. Be sure to switch up colors until you find what they want. Orange was the color on this outing.
