Weedbeds are good; docks and lily pads, too. Rock piles and creek channels, and all the rest…
But sometimes, sometimes….the best (and often overlooked) big bass haunts are less obvious.
Instead of finding a lunker largemouth on the “name brand” types of spots like a rock heap, you may find one, lonely boulder that holds fish like crazy. Or it could be just a small finger off a creek channel or a random post like this one.
One of the reasons these non A-List spots can be so productive is…
they often get passed over by other anglers. It’s in our nature to hit the marquee stuff first — the prime spots with the best cover. Then, we start working our way out from there. Nondescript spots will often hold fish because they get pressured less there.
If you can find a random bit of cover in a lower traffic area, take a quick look around for access to deepwater. If your spot has that, so much the better…there’s a great chance it’s going to hold some fish.
Here’s a nice Clear Lake largemouth taken on a spinnerbait tossed right up against that post…
