Good day on Travis — at least two dozen largemouth on a half-day trip. The fish never really schooled up, so the topwater bite was slow, but we picked off a few early. The biggest of the day was a 5- to 6-pounder that ate a topwater and threw it halfway back to the boat — that one’s still out there.
Almost everything came tight to the bank: cliff walls, rock veins, and docks. The bait that did the work was a 5″ worm in green pumpkin with green and purple flake, worked slow along the rock. If you’re on Travis this week, fish the shade lines close to shore and let the worm do the talking.
Fished with me recently? A quick Google review is the biggest thank-you there is — leave one here. Ready to get on the water? Book a trip.
