Largemouth Bass
TechniqueSpinnerbaitsSeasonSummerStructureSubmerged VegetationStill a lot of vegetation along the shorelines and surrounding the “islands” for late August, however it’s not quite matted enough for punching effectively. We ended up cruising about 15-25’ from shore and was able to effectively throw spinnerbaits with fluke bait trailers and Texas rigged worms along the weed lines. If fishing within the vegetation, frogging may have been a good option as well but we didn’t end up going that route today. Next time!

TechniqueSoft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium)SeasonFallStructureSubmerged VegetationTough start to the day with no fish on the frogs or chatterbait. Caught a couple small pike and bass on the outside weed edge with a bluegill colored spinnerbait. The 1/2 oz Dark Sleeper really saved the when fished very shallow. Turned a slow day into a good one with a few quality fish.
