Largemouth BassTechniqueHard Topwater (Prop)SeasonSummerStructureOpen Water/BasinStarted the morning running the Whopper Plopper along weed edges and past cypress trees. As the sun went up, switched to shakey heads and jigs tight to brush and tree cover.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Worming)SeasonSummerStructureRock PileAfternoon/evening started out hot, catching them on a combination of texas rigged worms, football jigs and swim jigs. The t-rigged Zoom 10.5 worm did the best as I dragged it over some rock piles and through some submerged grass.

Despite a 2 mph wind, my biggest fish came on Owners Flashy Swimmer with an Xzone 4" Swammer and also a spinnerbait. I was getting bit on a Strike King 10" Bullworm Texas Rigged as well, but I could not get hooked up and keep them pinned.

Pitched the 10" Bullworm into the reeds and under the cypress trees and held on for the fun ride. Pegging the weight helped tremendously to keep from getting tangled and allowed me to make more efficient casts.

Flipped the 10" bullworm into the reeds and worked it out into the heavy lily pads to get a few bites in the late morning (10 to 11am)
