The water temp is 75 degrees when we started this morning. The S canal is wide open until you get down to the East West Canal there is a blockage just to the north of the East/West.
Top baits this week for me were the Bass Assassin Tapout worms, Jackhammers and the Mike Bucca 6” Trick Shad in Gizzard Shad color.
I’m fishing the Bass Assassin Tapout worms with an 1/4oz weight (because we have had so much wind) and fishing it along Bullrush edges. The only colors I used this week were Black and Watermelon Magic. I’m using a 5/0 VMC Redline EWG hook. I like letting these sink to the bottom and pull it along the bottom fairly slow.
I’m fishing the Golden Shiner and Green Pumpkin Jackhammers anywhere there is scattered hydrilla in water 5′ or less. I only use a 1/2oz with a Zako trailer to match or a Bass Assassin Whoopa Craw to match.
The 6” Mike Bucca Trick Shad in Gizzard Shad color is my go to swimbait this week. I’m fishing these along thick grass edges near deep sharp drops or cuts near main canals. It is a fish catcher and it will work all over Headwaters. Swim these just under the surface for best results. Get on the Bullshad email mailing list so you can get the bait drop info.
If you want to catch a bunch of fish pick up some shiners and free line them in deep water areas.
I only have a few dates available in December (4,5,15,16,21,22). Call or text me at 304-610-6066. I have some outstanding guides that work for me that have availability as well.
Tight lines!
