Largemouth bass fishing has been fair and there are some fish shallow in the creeks and they are stuck heavily under the grass beds. Zoom Bush Hogs on a pegged Texas rig may work on the grass beds but be sure to use a heavy weight to get though the grass. If there is a warm up this week, get the weights off the baits and look in the sandy areas for small bass to start roaming around. After mid day, stay out of the creeks and fish the points on both sides of the mouth. Sometimes the bass are holding to the small points rather the than the larger ones. This pattern will change from day to day and even from morning to afternoon. The secret is to find the points that have the best structure on them.
