Flipping jigs and wacky rigged yum dingers to lay downs and docks produced decent numbers of well fed largemouth. Helps to note that I was fishing the river

Bass were all over the flats schooling together this weekend in 10-20 fow. 1/4 oz jigs tipped with plastics in green and brown worked well.

Insects
Perch are schooled up and fairly sluggish. Deeper water seems to be a bit more productive (40+ fow) so larger 3/4 to 1 oz jigs coupled with light braid and a fluorocarbon leader are necessary. Work jigs on the bottom slow to imitate bugs and small minnows. Natural colors have produced best.

Bite was very tough and fish were on the move. Most caught were coughing up water fleas and crayfish. Green and brown plastics worked best.

Perch have been gorging on small crayfish and sculpin, so any plastic to mimic these have done well.
