The water temp is 84.3 degrees when we started this morning and 86 when we finished this morning.
Top baits this week for me were the Bass Assassin RSB worms, Chatterbaits and the Mike Bucca 6” Trick Shad Gizzard color.
I’m fishing the Bass Assassin RSB worms with an 1/8oz weight and fishing it along hydrilla edges near deeper water. Gooseberry, Green Pumpkin Blue Flash and JB Blue are the best colors. I’m using a 6/0 VMC EWG hook. I like letting these sink to the bottom and pull it along the bottom fairly slow. I had to really let it sit the later in the morning before they’d pick it up. I’m fishing these in 6-13’ of water along hydrilla edges for the most part.
I’m fishing my Jackhammers pretty fast through the hydrilla and ripping it out of the thick stuff. Green pumpkin with a Spunk Shad or Zako have worked well for my trailers. All my chatterbait fish are in 5’ of less water.
We picked up some solid fish the past 2 weeks on buzzbaits. I’ve been a huge fan of the Boogerman Buzzbaits and I’ve had really good success on the Big Bite Baits Tour Toads. I’m fishing these on grass edges in 3’-5’ of water and early morning has been best for me.
The 6” Mike Bucca Trick Shad in gizzard color is my go to swimbait this week. I’m fishing these along thick grass edges near deep sharp drops. I have been testing this bait for a couple years and it was just released yesterday. It is a fish catcher and it will work all over the country because it is the perfect size and shape. Get on the Bullshad email mailing list so you can get the bait drop info.
Tight lines!
