Had the most success pitching a shakey head in less than 5ft of water around lay downs for largemouth. Was also able to target largemouth in 15ft of water suspending over grass using LiveScope. A lighter presentation got more bites - 1/16 oz jighead worked best. Picked up a few more bites dragging a worm offshore around brush piles. The bite was hot in the morning and slowed down as it heated up.

Hot spell leading into the weekend had the bass hunkering down in the pads. Working a frog through them yielded good results. Targeted shade and pockets w/ a wacky rig as well.

First time using these spark shad bait and it was on fire! So many bites landed a few and missed some hook sets but it definitely got the job done, as soon as it hit the water it got slammed by this guy

Could not wait to test the new Mustad Alpha point TAK-Offset 2/0 hooks. Mixed review on first outing. Caught small bass Texas rigging with 5" Senko and Stick-o worms. Hook has long shank for a 2/0 which gets hook farther down worm for easier hookup. Points are super sticky sharp (so sharp they re-hooked fish as I tried to take hook out). I had some challenges with the skin hooked worm sliding sliding back on the bend resulting in more snags and a less optimal presentation on many casts. This may be because the bottom of the hook is almost square. Look forward to trying with some different presentations.

Depending on the mood of the fish in this spot I can either slow roll the bait along the bank or fast, also good to cast out in some deep spots I know there is fish, my goto bait when I’m fishing love these keitech baits they definitely get the job done
