Lures, Techniques & Tactics
This is where things get interesting. Clendon's got you covered whether you want to throw artificials or go with live bait—both have their place depending on conditions and what the fish are telling us. On the artificial side, you might be working everything from Texas-rigged soft plastics along drop-offs to burning spinnerbaits over submerged grass beds. The key is matching your presentation to what the bass want that day. Live bait can be deadly when fish are finicky, especially during tough conditions or when targeting bigger, more cautious bass. Clendon reads the water and adjusts tactics accordingly—maybe we're flipping heavy cover in the morning, then switching to deeper structure as the sun gets high. The Nitro's trolling motor lets us work spots quietly and efficiently, while the fish finder helps identify productive areas before we even wet a line.
Species You'll Want to Hook
Largemouth bass are the stars of the show in San Antonio's waters, and for good reason. These fish are aggressive, smart, and put up one heck of a fight. In Texas, largemouth can grow impressive—we're talking fish that'll test your drag and make you work for every inch. They're most active during cooler parts of the day, especially early morning and late afternoon, but a skilled guide like Clendon knows how to locate them even when they're holding tight to cover during midday heat. Spring brings the spawn, when bass move shallow and become more aggressive, making for some of the year's best action. Summer pushes them deeper, but that's when technique really matters—the right presentation in the right spot can trigger explosive strikes. Fall sees them feeding heavily before winter, and they'll chase baitfish with abandon. What makes largemouth so addictive is their unpredictability—one minute you're working a soft plastic slow and steady, the next a bass explodes on a topwater lure in two feet of water. They're ambush predators that use structure like fallen trees, rock piles, and grass lines to their advantage, which makes reading the water crucial for consistent success.
