Largemouth BassTechniqueHard JerkbaitsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureMatted GrassApril 16th I came fishing here on my old town topwater 120 pedal drive kayak with a few buddies. We had three days of 80 degrees this being the third day. Also the full moon was today as well. Water temp was 60-62 so I knew they would be shallow. I decided to throw the Rabid Baits Rabid-Shad soft plastic jerk bait. They MUNCHED it! I fished it just below the surface and also on top almost like a frog. I had over 20 strikes/blowups during the 5-6 hour trip. Boating about 10 largemouth and missing many more. The full video is on my youtube channel Jake_stem_fishing.

Throwing a white or black and blue thunder cricket chatter bait with a trailer matching the color of the chatter bait. Throwing the bait in the 1-2 foot grass flats of the lake. When the chatter bait gets stuck in grass rip the rod to get the chatter bait loose in a short fast rip motion. The bass will eat the bait when it comes flying out of the grass and stops.

The day after hurricane Ida my buddy Matt and I headed out on the lake to search for some largemouth bass. The lake came up 5 feet over night due to the flooding so we knew it would be tough. It was a grind all day I believe the fish were very confused and didn't know where to set up. He caught 2 back to back on a black n blue chatter bait. I caught one fish using a Rabid Baits shaker worm Texas rigged with a 1/8 ounce weight dragging it along the bridge. Nonetheless still a great day on the water!
