Largemouth BassTechniqueLipless CrankbaitsSeasonWinterStructureDamIt can be extremely hard to catch bass around the discharge in the winter. Many use minnows. I like to try artificial, so I tried ripping a bluegill colored lipless bait to try to draw a reaction and it worked! It was the earliest in the year I had ever caught a bass and I would definitely recommend it!

- SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueBladed JigsSeasonSummerStructureBrush Piles
Fished today with a whopper plopper and a chatterbait. The bluegill colored chatterbait hooked a largemouth, but I didn't set the hook and it got away. Not too many other bites today, lots of other bank anglers out today too.
- SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueBladed JigsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureLaydowns
The fish are getting more active and the shallow fishing is getting better! Bladed jigs with craw trailers (Riot Baits little fuzzy) were working great with their ability to fish fast and slow. Laydowns in or near deeper water are good areas to target, don’t forget to slow down and cover them well.
- SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Worming)SeasonSummerStructureLaydowns
The tried and true Texas rig on a 5” yum dinger. The best fish magnet on the market. This catch was weightless but I usually use a 3/16 bullet weight.
- SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueFrogs/ToadsSeasonSummerStructureLily Pads
Always start the morning with a top water frog on the Lily pads or next to some brush. Works better early morning but there is always a fish willing to bite it.
- SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueShakey HeadsSeasonSummerStructureOpen Water/Basin
Being patient was the key. Would let the worm sit on the bottom for a while before retrieving it very slowly.

Fishing busse woods a pressured lake. It’s hard to get a bite and I seen them feeding in the lily pads and sure enough.I got a strike.
