Largemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Pitch/Flip)SeasonSummerStructureDocksCaught a nice limit of fish pitching the out side of dock posts in the shade on the main lake in the mid day and afternoon. Also had luck earlier in the morning flipping wood structures in the middle to back of creeks. Just covered water til I got a bite then picked up xtra fish in those areas

The largemouth are scattered right now as some of them are transitioning into their fall areas. Both species are pushing shad up shallow and feeding early in the morning and late in the evening. The Rapala Shadow Rap has produced when other baits will not. Additionally, I use a Wrecker Baits Check Cashier Shakeyhead paired with a Googan Baits Bandito Bug to slowly drag off points and ledges for the lethargic bass.

Fished a Saturday night tournament on the home pond and we finished 4th. One key lure that I couldn't tag above is the 1/2 oz Wrecker Baits Pro Jam Elite flipping jig in black and blue with the Strike King Rage Chunk. We caught a ton of fish on jigs, jerkbaits, and top water. All the fish we weighed in came on the jigs.

SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueSwim JigsSeasonSummerStructureRip RapSuper fun outing on the home pond! Honestly, just trying different finesse techniques and learning something new. All of the lures listed caught multiple fish for me. Today, they were schooling from one end of the bridge to the other chasing minnows, shad, my bait, you name it. A couple ideas to try with the Berkley flat worm is wacky rigging it and neko rigging the bait. I found quite a bit of success using both methods. What can I say the Hog Farmers Spunk Shad just flat catches fish.
