The big fish are up moving more and more. My boat had 2 double digit fish in October. We should start seeing more and more giant fish during prespawn and spawn.
Top baits this week for me has been Zman Jackhammers, John Laurenza Jr. Lure Concepts Spinnerbaits and the Mike Bucca 7” Trick Shad.
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.
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. 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. Sign up at Bullshad.com
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 with scattered hydrilla.
The live bait bite is just unbelievable right now. The bigger fish are starting to show themselves a little more each week. Grass edges near deep water is the key.
Tight lines!
