Early in the evening, I ll burn it right over the weed tops, without stirring the surface. But later on, into darkness, I ll work it higher, bulging the surface and maybe even lapping some water. Something better attack this one or I m reaching for dynamite. It s always amazing to spy where bass live. Largemouths in particular live and feed in the sloppiest-slop and nastiest soup imaginable.
Nothing s too shallow or too thick.
The technique is fairly simple. Step one begins by chucking a weedless surface bait into the thick stuff. Rats and frogs work, but I prefer Northland s JawBreaker Spoon in this exploratory role. JawBreakers are fully weedless and they can be fished fast. Make long casts and use straight, rapid retrieves, occasionally hesitating over openings.
