We were fishing steep bluffs and casting against the bank. I was dragging my unpegged Texas rigged powerworm and letting it fall on semi-slack line until it hit bottom and them pulled it off and let it fall again. The bass were picking it up on the fall. It was late afternoon when the bite started to pick up. Typical summer patterns. The boat was sitting in 25-35 feet of water and the bites were coming in 10-15 feet.

I caught my best bass this trip on the free rig with a 6” desert craw Roboworm. We were fishing steep and rocky banks in and around submerged trees and bushes. I threw the free rig on a spinning rig with 12 pound braid to a 10 pound fluorocarbon leader. We also caught bass on Texas rigged Culprit worms and 3/0 round bend worm hooks and 1/4 - 3/8 ounce weights. The key was to fish shade lines with steep rocky banks and fishing close to submerged trees and bushes.
