Howdy Brian. I agree with you that the largemouth tend to school more in the summer and winter, leaving more lakes unpopulated. I joined this school with the desire to become more consistent. I have caught bass over 10 lbs. I’ve caught 30 and 35 lb bags in a day. But I zero way more than I like. If I had to guess, I would think it’s as high as 70% of the time. I’ve tried staying in the area and trying to figure it out. I’ve also tried hitting a number of different spots in a day and making a few casts then moving to the next. I also fish where there is at least bait and some structure (usually a presence of birds) deep and shallow. Granted, I’m on a pretty tough reservoir. But I know I can do better. I am convinced I am fishing where they are not. I don’t even see many bass on forward-facing but usually tons of bait. I have all the latest electronics. Maybe I should be using side imaging and 2D more. Any suggestions?
My son and I fished together on Saturday. The temp was up and the bass were very active. We caught so many that we lost count, sometimes they were snatching the bait the second it hit the water. We were using plastic worms again and also tried a couple of plastic swim bait. They hit all the plastics! Anything slow retrieve was good to go. I’m learning more about what the bass are eating and how plentiful the food source is in this particular lake. I know that the bass can only grow based on the food source. I think I have my son hooked on fishing for bass! He might be one of my new partners!

One of the highlight catches from 2025.
- I was honestly dejected. I only had 10lbs the first day and day 2 was SUCKING. I got 1 bite and my whole season changed in about 15 secs.
