big bass for little kid

The water temp was 83 degrees when we started this morning and at noon it was 86.5 degrees. Top baits this week for me were Jackhammer chatterbaits, Bass Assassin RSB worms and the Mike Bucca Bull Shad 6″ Trick Shad.

I’m fishing the Bass Assassin RSB worms weightless or with a 1/8oz weight. I’m using a 5/0 VMC Redline EWG hook with an Ande Fluro leader in 20lb test. I am fishing these in the same area that im fishing chatterbaits. I swim the worm just like you wouldd a slow rolled spinnerbait. Gooseberry and black with blue tail are my most productive colors.

9lb bass

I’m fishing the Jackhammers (Green Pumpkin, and Zman EVO Bluegill) on the flats along hydrilla edges in 5′ or less. I only use a 1/2oz Jackhammer with a Green Pumpkin Zako trailer or a Hogfarmer Spunk Shad (Sungill) with the a Bluegill chatterbait. My line of choice is Ande black braid (50lb) and the rod I prefer is a Dobyns Champion 736CB Glass #dobynsrods

The 6″ Mike Bucca Trick Shad in Gizzard Shad color is my go to swimbait this week. I’m fishing these along hydrilla edges near deep water or in canals. It is a fish catcher and it will work all over Headwaters. Get on the Bullshad email mailing list so you can get the bait drop info. The Dobyns Champion XP 736C FH (frog rod) is the best rod I’ve found to throw the 6″ trick shad.

Live bait is still producing giant fish and they are chewing shiners. I’m fishing live bait in deep water on a freeline along thick grass edges.
