Largemouth BassTechniqueCarolina RigsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureSubmerged VegetationLook for ledges that have grass right next to them close to spawning areas. They were staged in the grass edge waiting for things to get right to push up.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Worming)SeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureSubmerged VegetationCaught a lot of fish this trip. All came from around the hay grass. Best bite came early while it was overcast and foggy. Alternated between the Senko in watermelon red and the white jackhammer with a zoom twin tail white trailer. Bite slowed down once the sun got up. Post spawn is in full-swing. Still can catch a few late spawners as well.

Caught some good top water action walking a spook. Had a giant blow up on me right off the bat, right next tot he boat that scared the crud out of me and I jerked too soon. After that I was able to slow down and stick about 6-7 decent fish. Over the top of hydrilla in less than 10 feet depth. Be sure to change your hooks on all your top water and crankbaits to the triple grip hooks. I rarely lose a fish with those hooks. They really are the best for any bait that has treble hooks. The braided line was huge as well as some fish would drag it down into the grass, but with the braid and the triple grips I did not lose any but that first one.

The early morning top water bite has been great. They are smashing the baits when they are sitting still. Work it subtly and then let it sit. Fun times. As the day goes on you will have to slow down. We did well with weightless Senko's.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueHard Topwater (Popping)SeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureSubmerged VegetationCaught them good on a Storm chug bug in chrome/black. They choked it, but you had to work it super slow and let it sit. The water level is up and the fish are scattered. Also caught a few on the Keitech paddle-tail 3" swimbait. I fished it on an underspin.
