Largemouth BassTechniqueSpinnerbaitsSeasonSummerStructureMatted GrassWorked my way around a flat, maybe eight to ten feet deep, down to dirt. Boat got stuck… Huge grass mat in the middle, worked the edges and anywhere I thought I could swim through. This one hit right after ripping through a clump. Sunny day, little to no wind. Handful more hit skipping under some overhangs, then a couple decent on a ned trd from the bank after I loaded the boat.

Fish were holding on the steep bluff walls in their summer pattern and drop shot was the key. Had multiple big largemouth and smallmouth eat it on the fall. The Daiwa Rebellion 7-0ML is a fantastic drop shot rod with the perfect power and action for this technique.

Post spawn is a little slow, but when you find the fish, they are of great size and weight
