Largemouth BassTechniqueSwim JigsSeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureLily PadsGet your heaviest swim jig rod out and get to work. 7ft+ MH- H action with at least 30 pound braided line. Use a high speed reel to keep up with the bigger Toads, and be ready for hand to hand combat in the thicker stuff. White, chartreuse and bluegill color variety of swim jigs will produce in shallow vegetation and lilipads this time of year. Mid to large size largemouth chase like crazy. PS, they will eat a topwater frog this time of year as well.

Only caught 8 fish - most of them on a topwater following the shade line in 5-8ft of water (outside of lilly pads). Also caught a few with a texas rigged stickbait around docks. Clear bluebird day with low wind made it tough.

Shallow water fishing in 5-6 feet of water near isolated docks and main lake points. Patience was the key to success.
