I let the lure sink all the way to the bottom and was just popping it along the bottom. While I was working it, this guy hammered it. I was working it really slowly, giving a lot of pauses in between pops.

Massive rain over the past 7 days, resulting in high water. Skipped the frog under overhanging trees along the creek channel. The color was "duckling", which showed up very well in the murky water. The strikes were very aggressive

Had a really fun day on the ledges this afternoon. We were finding groups of fish on creek channel intersections with grass or hard bottom. Our best bait was a Dixie Jet Talon Spoon (which is not on Omnia). We also caught good ones on a football jig, neko rig, and a hags prickly pear. Ended up with about 20 pounds with our best 5.

Bite was pretty tough offshore with the TVA not pulling much current but we found some big schools and had a pretty good day. Caught some fish on a 6XD including a 4 1/2 pounder but the neko rig did the most damage with the lack of current. Had a little over 18 pounds with our best 5.

The frog bite has officially kicked off on Guntersville. This time of year there isn’t a whole lot of topped out grass so I like to get up really shallow and find cheese mats with multiple different types of grass mixed in. My favorite frog to throw in these mats is the Copper Red Baits Wave Frog which they don’t have on Omnia. My favorite alternative is the Berkley Swamp Lord. I am throwing these frogs on a Daiwa Tatula Cork 7’4 heavy frog rod with an Abu Garcia Revo SX reel and 50lb braid. It’s a fun way to fish!

We fished the ASABFA State Tournament on Pickwick lake this weekend (3 fish limit). We ended up in 27th/208 and had a tough tournament. We had a pretty good day one with 9.77 with our best 3 but only 6.06 on day 2. Most of our fish came up around the dam fishing a freeloader on a 3/16 jighead and a roboworm on a 3/16oz drop shot.

Pickwick can be tough with no current running but fishing stumps can be a good way to catch them this time of year.

We had a really solid day out there fishing main lake and secondary points on the lower end of Wheeler. We caught plenty of fish but no monsters. Our best 5 probably would’ve went 13-14lbs. We caught both large and smallmouth.

The War Eagle spinnerbait that produced best was in the Flash color which I believe has been disontinued. It works really well in all the coosa and tallapoosa river lakes. Hope you can get them to make it again. Bite slowed down after the only two I had broke. But we were still able to win our club tournament.

We caught largemouth early in the grass during the shad spawn with a swim jig and later moved to offshore points and brush piles to catch spots. We caught most of our fish offshore on a jerkbait, minnow, and drop shot. Ended up getting 13th/174 boats with 12.07 pounds. Fun day of fishing.

We caught a bunch of fish up shallow today. Most of them were on a shallow jerkbait in 2-6 ft of water of the breaks of flats. We also caught a few nice ones on a drop shot on docks too.
