Largemouth BassTechniqueWacky RigsSeasonSummerStructureDocksWe started fishing weed lines but boat problems pushed us shallow onto docks. We had some action on docks but no size to be found. All in all a disappointing day as I lost a decent fish on a lipless in the weeds early so it could have been a better day.

During the tournament we decided to head in to the river, since we didn't find any size in the lake. We fished from 7am - 3pm with one fish on, and it got off boat side. I could count the number of bites on one had...between the two of us. It was a really tough, post frontal day. If I had to do it over again, I would have went back to the lake, and looked for deep water structure.

Prefishing for a bass tournament I had action (but not size) skipping a white senko under docks on the east end of the lake. The closer to the water the dock was, the more action we had on it.

Conditions were flat calm and blue skies today. I concentrated on sharp breaks with good weed lines. I saw a few fish busting out over deep water, but couldn’t get them to commit to anything. All my fish came ripping the Ned rig out of the weed edge.

We worked weed lines and specifically the areas where the weed line came to a point further out than the surrounding edge. You could see fish stacked up just outside the weed edge. Ned rigs are one of the most versatile baits out there. You can catch just about any species on them. The ticklerz last all day no matter what fish you’re catching.

WalleyeTechniqueFinesse JigsSeasonSummerStructureSubmerged VegetationWe worked wind-blown weed lines with light tungsten jigs and northland eye candy plastics. We caught northern, largemouth, bluegill, and walleye. The key was throwing into the weeds and slowly working it out across the edge.

Matted grass clumps around the edges of deep bullrush patches held lots of fish, black spro frog worked amazing once the sun got up high enough in the sky.
