Largemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Pitch/Flip)SeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureBrush PilesEarly in the morning we fished up against the bank with the blue herons. The shad were up there and the bass were right with them. Texas rigged Rage Craws and the Ned head with a 4 inch dinger worked great in the shallow water. Once the sun was higher we moved out to the brush piles around the same cove and picked up a few bigger fish.

Very tough bite fishing in Buck Bay and the San Augustine Park areas. The only consistent bite came on the watermelon red baby brush hog Texas rigged with a 3/16-ounce tungsten weight. The best fish came on laydowns. Had to weed through a lot of dinks. Very low tournament weights.

As the day went on, had to switch to the crankbait and a black/blue jig. Water level came up 6 inches throughout the day and still rising. The picture is the San Augustine ramp where the water was well above the rocks on the ramp
