Captain Steve here from FLbigbassadventures.com and the big bite BFE is a perfect bait for punching heavy vegetation here on headwaters. I prefer the 2 ounce weight paired with this bait. Target matted hydrilla or mats either over or right next to deeper water on the edge of the natural ditches or the man made ditches. Yo-yo once or twice then move to the next flip.

Find the grass clumps on the East side of the S canal and hang the Chatterbait in the grass and pop it out. Slow rolling the bait as slow as you can without getting it totally bogged down. Flip the bait short distances in holes of the grass instead of long cast.

The Croc O Gator C.O.G worm in 7.25 inch in plum color has been on fire for us here. I’m a professional guide on Headwaters lake and these worms are changing the game for us here at FLbigbassadventures.com. We are throwing it next to heavy hydrilla walls along deep edges near deep water. Pegging the worm paired with a 1/16 bullet weight or shaky head has been money. Fishing slow is key as we come into the summer months and warmer water.

Texas rigged worms on hard grass lines and scattered grass. The Gambler burner worm works great as well as the COG swamp swimmer.

The Croc O Gator Swamp Swimmer plastic worm is by far the best paddle tail worm I’ve ever used. The action and texture of this worm is by far the best I’ve seen. I’m working this worm in ditches around hyacinth mats on the east side of the lake. Fish it slow and allow the bait to fall. 1/16 oz for slow fall and presentation

Capt Steve here from FLbigbassadventures.com. Clients caught numerous fish from 2-7 lbs today on headwaters fellsmere on shiners as well as the croc o gator swamp swimmer plastic worm. We were fishing reed lines adjacent to deeper water that had a hydrilla line. Fishing the worm on a 3/8 oz pegged with a standard 4/0 worming hook. The fish are schooling back up after the spawn on grass lines near deeper water mainly in the canals and man made pits.

Edge of the north pit, was pitching worm along the hydrilla and letting it fall to the bottom, hits coming on the fall. Open areas without vegetation throwing the jerkbait.
