Largemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Worming)SeasonFallStructureSubmerged VegetationFishing was tough but managed to catch them up against the reeds tossing a tackle HD hi-def Louisiana red soft plastic crawfish. I would also rip a Bill Louis Rat-L-Trap Rayburn red through 7-8’ of submerged vegetation making sure to rip it through some grass was the key. The bass were spitting up bright red crawfish so they are going to town on the red craws, I caught 9 bass by doing these techniques. 🥵 🥵 🥵

The water temp was 84° with a light overcast I was able to find some schooling Bass between 9 AM to 12. I was throwing large swimbaits to try and target the lager bass.

Then I moved to submerge vegetation, I caught 7 bass by slow rolling with pauses the kietech easy shiner perch color, working in 8’ of submerged vegetation.

I also started tossing a 6” segmented swimbaits baby bass pattern to target some of the bigger fish. The swimbait was a Mike bucca bulltrout custom painted in the baby bass pattern.

Water temperature is around 87 degrees, large mouth bass are schooling all around the lake along with small pockets of hybrid bass and white bass. First thing I did was locate the section were the were breaking the surface than I shut off all my sonar and this seems to help the large mouth from spooking them and they would stay close to the boat. Casting into the schools and retrieving the silver castling at a medium to fast retrieval. I was mainly fishing the discharge side the first day I boated 21 large mouth and August 27 I boated 16
