For bass at Veto, fish weeds, wood and shade with a jig, spinnerbait or Texas-rigged worm for largemouth.

Spring around Veto is a good time to check warm coves and incoming water, and summer is a good time to fish shade, weeds and the first drop into deeper water. Fall around Veto can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
