Largemouth BassTechniqueWacky RigsSeasonSummerStructureSubmerged VegetationTHIS IS POINT "A" LAKE Water is HOT!!! 92 DEGREE WATER TEMP. As with any summer pattern, things were difficult. Smaller quality fish were caught by swimming a jig in emergent grass along the main river. Essentially, these grass beds provided cover and allowed the fish to stay out of the current and exert very little energy. However, better qualify fish were caught along submerged grass beds in the main lake - but, these grass beds had to be near or even touching the river channel. A stick bait, namely the YUM DINGER, was utilized and was a winner in terms of changing slow, sluggish, lazy bass in their typical summer time pattern. The key was to fish this bait SLOW AND METHODICAL and as CLOSE to the grass beds as possible

The trick was to keep the jig near the top of fhr matted grass and be pay close attention to the strikes due to the heavy cover. Kast king braid
