Nate CoyBronze AmbassadorSpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueNed RigsSeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureRock PileThe temps were in the 95 degree range, making the fish lethargic. Reaction bites were to be had by skipping a black and blue fleck general under bushes and lay downs. But most of the bites came in 8-10 ft of water on slowly dragging a TRD. Rock with nearby grass was the name of the game.

Fished these finesse football jigs at the various rock dams along several shorelines. Cast to rip rap along the dams and dragged the jigs slowly to deeper water. Bites were very light, give much credit to the very sensitive rod being used. I was using a Daiwa Steez Ags Medium spinning. Most fish were between 1 to 3 lbs.
