Largemouth BassTechniqueStructure JigsSeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureDocksOuting was for June 3rd, 2026. Temp was in the low 80's with winds out of the south at 10 to 15mph. Water was very clear. Very bluebird sky. Overall, we struggled this outing. We lost two fish in the first 30 minutes that really put us behind. We mostly tried to fish reed spots near docks and had some action, but not enough. We only caught 4 keeper bass all night. Had several good fish roll on a frog, but no real takers. Caught fish on a mixed bag, one on a spinnerbait, one on a frog and two on a senko. On to the next one and hope for a better day!

I competed in a local kayak tournament this past weekend and took home the win. I caught all of my fish on a frog and flipping outside edges of isolated reed beds. The water temp was mid-70s and the bluegills were actively spawning. There were wolfpacks of bass hanging inside of the reed beds and they would move in/out throughout the day. The frog bite was hot in the morning and then the bite switched to a flipping bite by 11am. Long pauses (3-4 seconds) on the frog worked best in the morning to elicit larger bites.

Outing was 6/5/2024, weather was in flux this day. Very windy, a front rolled through and upped the wind to ridiculous levels with some rain and lightning. Took a bit of a break during the lightning. This was for a GreenHorn tournament Wednesday evening. Caught all fish up shallow. Caught a couple on a frog and a pop-r. Mostly caught fish on finesse tactics up super shallow. All under 4 feet deep. Finished 3rd in the tournament and we were happy with the results.

Won the GreenHorn Wednesday night tournament out here. The wind was blowing near 40mph and a steady 20+ all night. This made me pick something up with a blade. We caught 30-40 bass along the weedlines and grass flats.

Fish were shallow. Found fish in weeds, under docks and lay downs. Go out and cast on anything shallow. Top Water whopper plopper and Jackhammer were catching them also.
