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.

Bluebird day with no wind. Had to slow way down. The wacky rigged Senko did the trick. It was a grind but you had to cover a lot of water and go a while between bites. The mastiff line has been working pretty well. Give this stuff a try. It does well in the knot department.

Amazing day! Caught them on top water all day with our first fish coming on the Manns Baby Minus 1, otherwise all fish were caught on top water with the Pop-R, frog, and a chug bug in black/chrome. We had over 26 lbs as a team and placed 1st and 3rd individually in a 3-fish tournament. Our team weight was with 6 fish. The top waters you would give it a couple of twitches and then let it sit and they were choking it. Every fish had the bait way in the back of their throat. Find deep water near shallow with standing timber and hydrilla and you will find the post spawn fish in 1'-4' of water.

Tried to hunt them shallow, got a few with the carolina rig along some grass lines. Moved over to some submerged grass in about 10 foot of water and caught a few more with a combination of carolina rig with flukes and a Texas rigged big worm.
