I was fishing the Jackhammer just above a grass line and then I’d kill it. It would drop into the grass and I’d let it sit for 10 sec then I’d give it a quick snap and that’s when this fish hammered the Firecraw! This is a great time to be fishing red lures! This wiper put up a great fight and It was a blast getting it hooked!

Decided to go out on a Thursday to see what was biting. Kristie worked on getting some using the Dirty Jigs Underspin we have such good luck with. I opted for the kitchen sink. I guess with all the weather fluctuations they were just locked down. The bites were slow and the only thing we caught any fish on, only one keeper, was the Owner's Ultrahead Football shakey head with a Zoom Green Pumpkin Magic Finesse worm. Kristie managed to get one there at the end on her Dirty Jigs 1/2oz football jig in black and blue, with a Yamamoto senko trailer. Just remember, any day on the water is better than a good day at work. Tight lines.

15lbs was good enough for a check this past weekend. Got on a late bite with the Jack Hammer around shallow docks. Only thing we could get a bite on. Staple on every lake we go to.

We targeted unders (>16”) shallow for a tournament this weekend. Cranking points with short timber on it. Also was able to pitch a senko around the timber and catch a few. Had 15-20 keepers with a few slot fish that were too big

Look for ledges that have grass right next to them close to spawning areas. They were staged in the grass edge waiting for things to get right to push up.

Pitching the Spark Shad at stumps on a Nako 1/4 tungsten jighead. Once down there I’d twitch it and then swim it out and up and this guy fired up and crushed it! I was using the Lews Crappie Thunder rod and a Lews Speed Spin 100! The Spark Shad is a fish magnet, pick some up and have some fun!

I had never used this lure before, but it’s got a home in my tackle box! The thin design is awesome and the vibration is top notch. I ran this just above the vegetation and it got crushed! I also ran it along a weed patch and as it tickled the edge of the weeds they would fire out to get it! This is a fun lure to fish, pick some up and have some fun!
