Help with Rice Lake Largemouth

[KraTToR]

I don't have much experience fishing LM bass so I'm Heading to Rice next week to specifically target Largies. Not looking for your special "honey holes" just info on patterns/colours that work on this lake and the Ottonobee river.

 

I really enjoy this type of fishing so I would like to hone my skills. I'll be rigged to Punch, Flip, Pitch, Frog, etc.

 

PM me if you don't want the world to know...lol

 

TIA!

 

Patrick.

I used to like anchoring at the mouth of the river and casting a tube, senko or plastic of your choice into the wash of the big boats as they leave the river and stir up the bottom...

25 largies (biggest 3) and 1 smallie (3.5) today in 3 hours throwing Senkos. Colour didn't matter

Not that good a result, but I found the same thing today.... all my fish came on wacky rigged senkos. The rain eventually pushed us off the lake.

SATURDAY cold front and wind pushed the fish into heavy cover, senko 1 fish all day but were getting them on rage craws rodents and jackal cover craws pitched into heavy cover and worked slooooow

Dark Coloured swim jig, and a dark coloured spinner. Pitch till you puke, and work weed flats with a spinnerbait or a swimbait and you should run across some buckets. The lake is full of them. Its mostly a smallmouth lake but still lotsa big buckets all over the lake.
