We have been on a pretty solid pattern the past week on artificial baits. Captain Andrew Mixon has been using a Boneshaker with a gold blade or the black/blue half ounce paired with the Bass Assassin Vapor Shad is my #1 choice. I’ve had better success on the flats with clean water and lots of hydrilla. My next choice would be a black blue flake 6” Senko. Fish these along reed and hydrilla edges. I’ve had some good success on the donkey rig with a Bass Assassin Vapor Shad Panhandle Moon color. A donkey rig is 2 fluke style baits fished on the main line. One has a barrel swivel that slides on the main line and the other is on the tied swivel the one that slides up and down the main line has to be shorter than the bottom one.
The live bait bite is nuts right now and bait is difficult to find.
Good luck this weekend and next week!
