Largemouth BassTechniqueBuzzbaitsSeasonSummerStructureLily PadsOvercast and breezy, catching them on buzz baits in the early morning. As the sun poked through, caught them on gold willow bladed spinnerbaits and green pumpkin bladed jigs.
- SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueSpinnerbaitsSeasonSummerStructureLily Pads
Buzz baits over and around lily pads in the morning and spinnerbaits through the sparse lillies mid morning got their attention.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Pitch/Flip)SeasonSummerStructureLily PadsThe bite has been getting tougher. Slowed it down with Texas Rig and drop shot, dragging the bait slowly in between lily pads
- SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueSpinnerbaitsSeasonSummerStructureLily Pads
Fished a popping frog around heavy lillies for a few hours then switched to a spinner bait. Got a few hits on that before slowing it down to a Texas rigged brushhog. Tough fishing, hardly any breeze.

Flipped a swim jig in and parallel to the reeds.

Pitched and skipped the Swammer deep into cover, and at the base of the cypress trees to get a few in the kayak.
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.

Fish were in a biting mood today, nice breeze blowing. Had them blowing up all morning, from 6am to 11am, all around lily pads and mossy muck on a frog. Worked the spinnerbait through the lillies when they missed to frog, got a few that way also.
