Largemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Worming)SeasonFallStructureSubmerged VegetationWater has cooled considerably and the grass is starting to die. Fished from the mouth of Belmont Bay to Occoquan Regional park. Started with spinnerbait/chatterbait in the submerged grass and a frog in the floating mats. Also threw a buzz bait around the mats. Got a few swirls on the frog, but no serious hits. Only bites came on slow swim worm and shake head. Previous night was near full moon with clear skies. Fishing weather was low 70 degree air temp, bluebird skies. Bites were few and far between. Bait seems to be pushing well back into the Occoquan river.

Fished flats in 3-6' of water with scattered vegetation. slow rolling the swimbait was key. Timing the low tide was also key to getting bit.

Super smooth reel. May be it’s the smoothest reel I have ever used.
