Largemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Pitch/Flip)SeasonSummerStructureStanding TimberAll bass were caught using a 6 in worm texas rigged. Everything caught flipping cypress trees. The less weeds and and matted grass was better. Best action was at creek inlets.

Fish were on pad and grass edges at low tide and inside the pad line when the water was higher. 1/2 oz weight and working slowly were key

Fished the Chickahominy River out of Rivers Rest Resort on the two hottest days of the Summer. The heat index on Friday, July 28th, reached 116 degrees! But, the bass were biting. Heavy largemouth were hard to find, but I managed to catch a 10lb limit anchored by a 3lb, 9oz beauty. I used a variety of baits, but my most successful technique was using 5" Yum Dingers in lily pads.

Quick trip to the river produced some good results. Throwing a buzz bait along the grass edges produced a good number of solid fish, I also threw a jackhammer into those same spots and ripped it through the grass producing bites. Anytime I was around cypress knees I went to the zoom finesse worm.

SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueFrogs/ToadsSeasonSummerStructureLily PadsCaught this 3lb, 8oz largemouth on my favorite frog, the Jackall Kaera! This fish completely inhaled the frog and had little chance of throwing it. She hit on the outside of a small pad "field" that was no larger than a kitchen table. I saw several boats pass right by the small pad field to fish pad fields that were significantly larger. But, I never saw them catch anything. Just goes to prove that it isn't always about size when it comes to the size of the pad field and the frog when catching bass.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueBladed JigsSeasonSummerStructureLily PadsCaught this 2lb, 8oz bass as the tide was ripping out of a shallow cut off the main Chickahominy River. She nailed a Z-man Jack Hammer and knocked so much slack in the line I thought I missed her. But, I caught up with her and got her in the boat. Air and water temps were considerably cooler than the previous day as a result of thick cloud cover. As a result, the bite was more aggressive overall, but it was a little more difficult finding the truly big fish.
