Largemouth Bass
TechniqueBladed 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.
