stick marsh bass

Top baits for me this week were Zman Jackhammer half ounce, Mike Bucca Trikshad, Bass Assassin RSB worms, YoZuri 3DB Popper and a black Snagproof Smashmouth frog.

My clients are catching most of their fish on Bass Assassin RSB worms in Gooseberry. Fish these in canals and along hydrilla edges using a 1/8oz weight and a 6/0 EWG hook. You can find all these fine worms at bassassassin.com.

Our big fish came on the Mike Bucca Trick Shad early in the mornings. I’m working it very slow around bait balls and along drops near deep water.

The Jackhammer was one of my top producers this week. I was using the Hogfarmer Spunk Shad as a trailer (Jackhammer Gold Shiner and Hogfarmer Spunk Shad TN Magic).

The new Smashmouth frog is incredible. I’m fishing this near hyacinth that’s blown up against reeds or in scattered hydrilla. Some really big fish have been caught on these the past couple weeks.

The artificial bite will be solid early and late the next few months. I have a few days open in September so book now. If you are interested in a fishing trip of a lifetime call or text 772-494-7400.
