Largemouth BassTechniqueSoft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium)SeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureLaydownsWe were fishing in a shallow/mid depth cove, from the bank. The area we were fishing had rock and some brush/laydowns. The conditions were windy and overcast. When I cast the lure, I let it sink slightly, and then did a straight retrieve at a slow to medium speed. I lost one bass and caught one bass.

Striped BassTechniqueSoft Body Swimbaits (Large)SeasonFallStructureOpen Water/BasinI caught this almost 9 lb. hybrid striped bass (wiper) fishing off the end of the dock by the boat ramp. I made a cast to open water, let it sink for a few seconds, and then started to reel it SLOWLY. A few seconds later…BOOM….it inhaled it!! It was an awesome fight and my first hybrid Striped Bass (wiper). Praise the Lord for the awesome catch!!

WalleyeTechniqueSoft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium)SeasonSummerStructureReedsWhere we had the best luck was in a windblown cove. The shad were getting pushed into the back and the walleye were about 10' from shore in about 5' of water. The best lure we found was a soft plastic swimbait in a shad color.

Largemouth BassTechniqueNeko RigsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureBouldersI was using a Neko rig, from the shore, in the shallows and caught a bass! My retrieve was casting it out, letting it sink, giving it some hops, and then letting it sink again. I was fishing an area with some big rocks, and some logs/sticks. Using a weedless Neko hook would be a good idea around the logs and sticks.

Fish were on riprap in 2-5' of water. Caught all fish with a Owner Flashy Swimmer (1/8 oz, silver willow blade) with a 3.5" Yamamoto Swim Senko in Chartreuse/White. Nothing huge on the bass side, all were about 3/4 lbers, got a nice bonus walleye that was about 16".
