Largemouth BassTechniqueBladed JigsSeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureSubmerged VegetationCrappy day, the weather, not the fishes… rained, all day. Windy, all day. Cold, all week. I caught a few dinks on ned rigs to start. Then switched to a chatterbait to try for something bigger and lucked out. All in four feet of water or less, mostly less. All tucked in pretty heavy stuff tight to the banks.

Rained pretty good right before I went out a couple hours before sundown, then again while I was out. Fishing from the bank casting to clumps I could see, could decent ones hit my lure right after busting through or by some fairly thick stuff.

Caught seven or eight largemouth, broke off three, two decent smallmouth, and a couple perch. Pretty overcast day with a few sunny breaks. Fairly constant breeze. Pretty clear water with a few murky patches from some runoff. Most were pulled up from maybe ten feet or less.
