Largemouth BassTechniqueBladed JigsSeasonSummerStructureSubmerged VegetationPistakee and the chain can be difficult fishing during the summer months. they water is stained, warm, and can be really high or really low. I have always had the best of luck with chatterbaits or any bait that makes some vibration or noise. Chartreuse in color is always my go to pick in stained water. i think the combo really gives the bass something to attack or get moving.

Nearby Three Oaks Reservoir—June 16–The spawn seemed to be over and the bass were picky and deep. We managed a couple of two pounders on jigs and a couple other bites. The deep fish were not actively feeding, but the ones we found on shallow lay downs and reeds were biting. There are HUGE crappie in this lake. The one pictured was like 16”. It ate a bass jig of all things.
