Lake Eufaula Alabama is on fire right now! 🔥 I caught fish on every spot I pulled into yesterday on just about everything I threw! My best bites came from a 7.5” culprit worm and punching mats!

The fish were holding very tight to wood and would not chase a moving bait. Slower presentations worked best. The key was pitching the jig directly to the base of isolated stumps and letting it fall on semi-slack line. Most bites came on the initial fall, and if a bite didn’t happen within the first few seconds, moving to the next stump was more productive than staying in one area too long. Focus on isolated wood near deeper water or creek channel swings.

Ended up getting 6th place out of 133 boats on Smith today. Had 12.7 pounds and caught a bunch of fish on a wacky worm under floating docks. Fish were hard to catch but the wacky was the one bait we could get them to bite.

Had a great day on smith fishing docks. Caught over 30 fish with our best 5 going about 15 pounds. These fish are getting close to spawning and are staging under floating docks on the main river and the mouths of creeks. These fish can be caught with a wacky worm and a flutter spoon the best. Also caught a few on a mooch minnow and 1 on a jig. It’s a fun way to fish.

While Everyone was out fishing main river "classic winter bass fishing spots". We spent our time right up on the bank targeting brush and stumps 7-12 feet of water. If the fish are on fire use 1/4 to 3/16, if the fish were very slow use 1/8. Using this technique it landed 25.02 day one of the anglers choice national championships and 6th overall.

Absolute grinder of a tournament for us. Caught 5 fish all day all on a mooch minnow fishing new water. The fish we found in practice were gone so we needed to adapt and luckily came up with about a 10 pound limit which got us in 59th place out of 155.

Found the bass on secondary points outside of spawn staging areas. Emergent grass next to deep channel swings was a solid pattern for the day. Chartreuse and white spinnerbaits tossed shallow, pulled back over deep water was the ticket.

Tough day overall but found some fish on a Lay Lake pre-practicing for a highschool tournament next weekend. We fished most of the day on the south end of the lake and only caught two bass in about 5 hours. Both came on a shakey head on docks. For the last couple hours we went way up river. We found a creek that was loaded with bait and bass and started catching fish with a swimbait and a minnow.

Caught a number of good Largemouth in pockets up the river on shallow diving crank baits. I threw the Yo-Zurich 3DR-X for most of the trip. Laydowns and rock were the main focus.
