The fishing has been really good!! Huge fish on live bait, the Jackhammer bite is on fire and the topwater bite is picking up. What more could you ask for? My big fish are coming from grass mats. If you find a grass mat with water under it then there is probably a giant bass under there. The trick is getting them to eat whatever you are throwing at them. The best way to fish for these giant bass with artificial lures is to punch the mats with a pegged heavy sinker with a creature bait. Once the bait falls through the mats you basically Yo-Yo the bait up and down. The chatterbait bite is strong in the hydrilla flats. I’m burning the bait through the grass and ripping it through the grass. That is when the strike occurs. Half ounce Jackhammers golden shiner or Bret’s Bluegill are the two best colors for me. I did catch some nice quality fish on the Whopper Plopper 130 Loon this week. I had a 9lber and a 7lber. Lots of quality fish on this bait. Our big fish this week are eating giant shiners.
Good luck this week and tight lines!
