I tied on a gulp minnow rigged weedless with no weight. I cast it into some weeds and let it sink. Then, I popped it up and let it float back down.
On the third pop, I felt a tug on my line. I set the hook, and the fish started to fight. It was a big one! I fought it for a few minutes, and finally I landed it. It was an 18-inch largemouth bass!

Summer is a great time to catch Largemouth Bass on Saratoga Lake. The weather forecast for the next three days shows that it will be sunny with temperatures in the mid-80s. This means that the fish will likely be more active in the morning and evening when the water is cooler.
When fishing for Largemouth Bass on Saratoga Lake, it’s important to pay attention to the weeds. Ceratophyllum demersum, Elodea canadensis, and Myriophyllum spicatum are all common weeds found in this lake. These weeds provide cover and shade for the fish, so they are often found near them.
The underwater ledge that drops off sharply from 20 feet to 70 feet deep is also a good spot to find Largemouth Bass. They like to hang out near structure where they can hide from predators and ambush their prey.
To catch Largemouth Bass on Saratoga Lake, try using a Texas-rigged worm or a jig with a crawfish trailer. Green pumpkin or watermelon seed colors work well in this lake. Cast your lure near weed beds or structure and let it sink slowly to the bottom before giving it a few twitches.
Remember to be patient when fishing for Largemouth Bass on Saratoga Lake. They can be finicky at times, but with the right strategy and lure choice, you’ll have a better chance of landing one of these prized fish.
