Largemouth BassTechniqueBladed JigsSeasonSummerStructureDocksMade it out for a full day on the Chick and can't say I "found the bite"... Was a bit of junk fishing: your typical cypress tree, pads and dock bite, but nothing specific that was "the deal". Caught 6 total, all of which were in the 2-3lb range. A few came on the swimjig, a few on the chatterbait, and a few on a neko rig. Threw around all of your typical Chick baits: a frog, buzzbait, wacky senko... Nothing.
Omnia Community MemberBronze AmbassadorSpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueFrogs/ToadsSeasonSummerStructureLily PadsEarly morning we produced a few good bites using the River2sea Whopper Plopper 90 and as the morning gave way to the sun you could find bass against seawalls and wood structure working a drop shot or a finesse jig (Dirty Jigs) However the bigger ones we found in the pads right now. Even in the sunlight coming across those pads with a Mat Daddy was something they could not resist.

Being a kayak fisherman sometimes sight fishing is not an option, this spring throwing a weightless fluke around cypress stumps accounted for multiple large fish. When this bite was slow switching to a frog it the same areas of cypress knees caught fish as well.

Caught 15 fish today, 11 LMB, 1 Bowfin, 1 Pike and 1 Perch. All of the fish were caught in the shade at the base of a tree or stump in less than 3' of water. Topwater bite was non-existent. Other colors used today we're Green Pumpkin Candy Red and Watermelon Copper Orange.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Pitch/Flip)SeasonSummerStructureDocksFished a club tournament on the Chick and had a great day. I found bass in and around grass and pad edges and against hardcover (rocks and wood) as the tides moved in and out of shallow creeks. Bass willingly hit a bone-colored Zara Spook Jr before the sun got too high. Once the sun rose and the tide began to fall, bass receded from the flooded grass and pads and moved to dropoffs where they hit Texas-rigged Berkley Power Worms and Zoom Z Craw Jrs in blue fleck and black, respectively. I caught the 6lb, 12oz and 4lb, 3 oz bass in the photo on consecutive casts off of a single dock piling with the Power Worm

Fished from 9am-3pm hitting various spots from RockAHock campground to Rivers Rest. Fishing was consistent with fish coming on Shakey head with zoom trick worm in Plum apple and red bug. Downsizing to a finesse worm may have proved more dividends; however, i didn't have any to throw. I did catch a nice fish on a Keitech swim bait fishing the outside edge of the Lilly pads on a bend in the main lake.
