Lardgemouth are in the thick shoreline stuff..under the scummy water..under lily pads..in very shallow water..

I don't know your area at all..but I generally take 6 rods fishing..

My 6 for your area..
Rubber worm 20 pound braid for the thick STUFF.
Rubber worm 10 pound Trilene for pitching semi thick vegetation
SPinner bait weedless..the very edge during first 30 minutes of the day.
Horny Toad,,for the pads or grass
Crankbait for deep holes..
If the shoreline is super thick /matty..a flipping jig.

I'm down here in the Bass Capital..and do not use no mono heavier than 10 pound test Phil...they see the line..and won't bite as well.
