Largemouth BassTechniqueDrop ShotSeasonFallStructureSubmerged VegetationHad a good morning and caught a lot of Bass! Most came on the drop shot on inside grass lines in 10-15’ of water. I caught couple on a wacky rig, one on a whopper plopper, and one even bigger one on a glide bait. Everything was relating to the grass.

I found them relating to off shore humps that were 14’ deep in 20’ of water. These humps are just tall enough for the grass to grow on them. I fished the jerk shad weedless in the grass.

Caught eight bass today nothing large. The first three were sight fished with a drop shot. The last five came on the jerkbait very close together with three coming on three consecutive casts. I was throwing it towards the bank and working it out. I caught all the fish on the jerkbait after the wind kicked up significantly and it became really tough to drop shot from the kayak.

This lake is spring fed so the water was 47 degrees, air temp was 32-42, and we also hand wind but it wasn’t terrible. Got four largemouth over 3lbs and two smaller ones. All but one came on Megabass Vision 110+1. Two of them were single fish I saw on forward facing sonar and got with a jerk bait. One came throwing a Jackhammer in to a funnel point and ripping it out of grass, and the last biggest one came with the jerkbait in to a ledge where two lakes came together. The smaller bass also came on the jerkbait. The temp dropped and it actually snowed while I was there so there was no one on the lake but me. After a good day of bass fishing I decided to check out some of the smaller schools I was seeing and got around a dozen crappie and a couple of bluegill dropping a drop shot in to the school and suspending it in the school. I also found a small school of blue gill and got a couple of them the same way.

Hopping the Ned along the bottom the water was very clear and the slower u move the ned rig the better it works.

This is probably near the end of this technique being effective but it is insanely good at this lake. They seem to really love the Tablerock SP color. I caught 15-20 this trip. I have been catching them all spring on jerkbaits right above the grass flats. Ideally you would just tag the tops of grass but not get stuck in it. The fish will usually come out of the grass for it. The grass is already within 4’ of the surface and 6’ in the deeper areas. Once any more grass comes in the jerkbait won’t be easy to use there.

Caught them over grass beds on 110s and 110 Jr. The baby Kingyo and Spawn Cherry were the hot colors.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueHard JerkbaitsSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureSubmerged VegetationI caught most of my fish with the Megabass Vision 110+1 over grass that is starting to come in. This is a clear lake typically 10-15’ of visibility. The can’t stand the table rock pattern. This lake Bluegill is the main forage. I also caught them on dimiki rig using the FF minnow on the Matt Stefan jig head. If I want to target them 15’ below the kayak I will cast 10’ out and let it pendulum back right above their heads. I was hoping to fish this way more but the wind was a constant 25mph and gusts in the 40s. It made this technique not worth it.
