SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueShakey HeadsSeasonSummerStructureBrush PilesI caught one nice fish today on rip rap throwing a shakey head, but the pattern that really put nice fish in the boat was flipping steep main lake points that had brush on them. My big fish came on brush piles on these points but all were in 10 to 12 feet of water.

Fished at an angle, coming across and down the drops. Success came when we found healthy grass and scattered brush/stumps at these locations.
