Largemouth BassTechniqueFinesse JigsSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureFlooded BrushPomme de Terre Lake Fishing Report Made a trip over to Pomme de Terre Lake out of Hermitage to shoot some content around the Motion Fishing Tungsten Tank Jig, and the timing couldn’t have been much better. The bite was flat out active. There was no shortage of hooksets all day long, and the Tank Jig definitely did some damage. I mixed in a few other baits just to keep tabs on what the fish were willing to do, and it became pretty clear there are multiple ways to catch them right now. We focused on clear water flooded bushes around spawning areas, and the fish were set up exactly where you’d expect them to be this time of year. Flipping those bushes was by far the most consistent pattern, but there were also plenty of opportunities to get bites up top. Frogs and glide baits both produced, especially when covering water and triggering reaction bites, but if you wanted steady action, flipping was the deal. Most of our bites came shallow, tight to that flooded cover. While we didn’t run into a lot of big ones, the numbers made up for it in a big way. We were probably in the neighborhood of 50 hooksets on the day, which made for a fun and productive trip. When I set the jig down, I picked up a 1/2 oz tungsten weight paired with a beaver-style bait and a Trokar TK130 flipping hook. That setup is always a reliable bite-getter anytime you’re around flooded cover, and it continued to produce throughout the day. Key Takeaways: * Target flooded bushes in clear water near spawning areas * Flipping is the most consistent pattern * Frogs and glide baits can generate explosive topwater bites * Fish are shallow and set up tight to cover * Expect numbers over size right now If you’re heading to Pomme, keep it simple. Tie on your favorite shallow water baits, get around flooded bushes, and you should be in for a better-than-average day with plenty of action. If you’re low on spring tackle, now’s a great time to restock. You can grab everything you need from Omnia Fishing and use code Luke10 to save 10%.

Went out and found fish fishing flooded bushes. The lake is really high and the steeper banks seemed to be holding fish in the dirty water and the fish in the cleaner water are very scattered. It’s the time of year to pick a creek and grab your flipping stick and get after them 🎣

I also use apex tackle the jig. Lots of fish was caught many different ways from many anglers that two day tournament.
