I have a cabin on the north side of the lake. I will typically throw a swim jig with a creature trailer deep into bulrushes on the shore line to catch big largemouth. Even in the summer I have found this tactic to be effective. Even though you may be able to catch more bass on the weed lines in around 13 feet of water the big bass remain up shallow since there is an abundance of forage in the bulrushes all summer. crawfish and bluegill patterns seem to produce the most fish. I have found the dirty jigs swim jig to be the best option for hooking into big bass and they are built to outlast other jigs. It is essential to have strong line, a sharp hook, and a good weed guard for this style of fishing. I will also fish a fairly stout rod to ensure strong hook sets and the ability to get the fish out of heavy cover.
