Largemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Pitch/Flip)SeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureBrush PilesFlipping into brush piles gave a pretty consistent bite this week. The bass were pretty aggressive and would usually hit right away. Fished mostly backwaters with the average depth being 2-3 feet. Black and Blue Flake Rage Bugs were the go-to with a 1/4 oz tungsten flipping weight and 4/0 Owner EWG hook.

The bite has been a bit tougher with this cold we’ve been dealing with. You have to work a little tougher to get those bites. The bass we’re only biting the pinchers off my creature bait so I downsized and that seemed to do the trick. Black and Blue for flipping is still working and white chatterbaits.

Bass were very active in the shallows but still have not seen very many of the big females there. With this warm-up the bass will definitely be more active. Unfortunately a lot of the backwaters I fished already had a lot of algae so that made fishing a little tougher. All of the bass I caught were on white color baits. With the Megabass swimbait being a favorite.
