I fished a little private lake in NE Texas last night from the Hobie while my son fished from a paddle boat. Rods were already rigged with a tandem with 2” swim shad on one and a Vudu shad on another. If they work in salt, they should work in fresh, right? How different can largemouth fishing be from specks? The answer - I caught 3 small largemouth and 4 bluegill on the tandem set up, and another largemouth on the Vudu shad, all in about an hour right at dusk. My son managed 2 small largemouth and a couple of bluegill as well on his tandem rig.
I caught the biggest bluegill I have ever seen in real life. It was almost 9” long.
