With this Front that made its way here Saturday night. The winds have kicked up to about 15mph. The bite has slowed down and bigger bass have pushed back into deeper water. My best luck has been at points and the mouths of canals were the water drops off deeper. LV500s and or any other type of lipess have been great at these points. The smaller fish are still shallow and having great luck throwing the Xzone Swammer in 309 Color. Paired that up with a Coolbaits underspin 1/4oz 3/0 hook has been the ticket. Slow rolling on the bottom. Both of these baits have been producing for me the last 2 days. Once this front passes I think the bass should start moving back shallow and feed more aggressive on bigger baits.
