The fishing is getting better by the day as the lake cools down (75 degrees). Top baits this week for me has been Boogerman Buzzbaits, Zman Jackhammers, John Laurenza Jr. Lure Concepts Spinnerbaits and the Mike Bucca 7” Trick Shad.
The Mike Bucca 7” trick Shad in the Shad color is working great early in the morning. Bone is my favorite color but I’m getting more bites on the Shad color. This is the bait I caught my 10lb fish on at 7:25am. The Trick Shad baits are only available through a bait drop. Get on the Bullshad email mailing list so you can get the bait drop info.

The Boogerman Buzzbait with a silver blade have been my favorite topwater bait. I like white with a Bass Assassin Die Dapper swimbait as my trailer. They are eating these so no need for a trailer hook. I’m fishing these around grass edges near ditches and canals.
I’m fishing the spinnerbaits in half ounce white with gold blades or chartreuse and white with gold/silver blades. I use a Bass Assassin Die Dapper for my trailer on these as well.
I’m fishing the half ounce Gold Shiner and Black/Blue Jackhammers in areas with scattered hydrilla. I use a 4.5” Hogfarmer Spunk Shad in TN Shad or Black/blue. I reel these fast enough to pop off the grass or I’ll slow it down and pop it off the bottom. Fishing these on flats near deep water.
The live bait bite is just unbelievable right now. The bigger fish are starting to show themselves a little more. The bigger the shiner the bigger the fish. Dan Lally had been catching some toads on live bait. Check out the 9lber his dad caught while out hunting new areas to fish.
