My good friend Jeff Saunders caught his first double digit (10lb 4oz) fish with me this past Friday. It was memorable for both of us and it couldn’t have happened to a better guy!
The water temp is 67 degrees when we started this morning and 68 when we finished up. The S canal has a blockage south of the north lake opening.
Top baits this week for me were the Bass Assassin RSB worms, and the Mike Bucca Bull Shad 6″ Trick Shad in Gizzard Shad color.
I’m fishing the Green Pumpkin Jackhammers on flats with scattered hydrilla in 5′ or less. I only use a 1/2oz with a Zako trailer to match. Most of my good fish are coming in stained water
The 6″ Mike Bucca Trick Shad in Gizzard Shad color is my go to swimbait this week. I’m fishing these along grass edges near deep sharp drops or cuts near main canals. I caught some good fish on the flats where the hydrilla was more scattered. 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.
I’m fishing the Bass Assassin RSB worms (Gooseberry) with a 1/8oz weight. The fish are in the hydrilla near spawning flats. I’m using a 5/0 VMC Redline EWG hook. Swimming the worm along the bottom has worked the best for me the past couple weeks.

Tight lines!
