Largemouth BassTechniqueCarolina RigsSeasonSummerStructureBrush PilesAlthough I put shad under forage, bass are so complex in their diet. Most of the time bass eat Shad all year round with bluegill and crawfish making up a huge portion of the diet in spring time. Brush piles in 10-15ft of water are amazing early summer as bass start to move onto their summer stuff. I recommend throwing a wide variety of baits from craws to flukes. Many brush piles are found on main lake points or on flats around spawning pockets.

Early in the morning I ran this above grass patches on the bottom and along some reeds. I was in shallow water so I did a steady crank and if I felt it hit the bottom or get into the vegetation I’d kill it. I did that over and over. It was time to change things up. I slowed up my retrieve just a bit and the Wild Shad just got wreeeeeecked! It was a great fight and so much fun! This square bill is a great lure with epic action and it’s durable!

This bass hit on the Jackhammer with a Gene Larew Biffle Bug as the trailer. I turned it on its side so that it was rigged vertically. This gives the tail a lifelike look and action similar to a Bluegill, Shad, or small Crappie. I slow rolled it to keep near the bottom, with an occasional quick crank burst once in a while. The bass hit on the quick crank, thinking the Jackhammer was getting away. The natural hunting action of the Jackhammer combined with the unique action of the Biffle Bugg created a meal the bass couldn’t refuse! An added note here-Gene Larew Biffle Bugs have been added to the Yum soft plastics line under the name Scutter Bug.

Focus on the wind blown sides of the points; slowly drag and pop worm. Also have fun with the sand bass and crappie if the LM bass aren't biting. They like smaller hair jigs w/ spinners.

Right along the reeds this bass came out and flushed the Trap! The key here was not doing the yo-yo technique, but a steady crank then I’d kill it! Just after killing it I gave it a quick snap and went back to a steady retrieve. It was just after I snapped it, I felt the thump, and that was all she wrote! No hook changes or mods, I fish it right out of the box!
