We caught a lot of smaller fish with the bigger ones coming on a wacky rigged Senko 5" but the bites were far and few in between. We caught fish pretty steady on a shakey head rigged 4" Senko with lighter line. Fished the haygrass in shallower water. The fish were on isolated patches and on the outside edge. Pic is of my daughter who went with me.

Bass were suspended at about 5ft. Casting bladed jigs in lanes between the grass mats proved to be the most effective.

They are starting to group up offshore in deeper water off riprap points but they were not ready to bite yet. Went to the river and flipped cover. Every bite came in a zcraw, we tried other baits but they wanted that craw.

After the sun got up nice and high, I caught some good solid fish on a Yamamoto 4" senko in baby bass with the tip dip died, using the Owner football shakey head in 1/8oz. My reel was a Daiwa Tatula MQ LT 3000D, spooled with Seaguar Red label, on a Megabass Orochi XX Shakeyhead rod. Casing to the back of the docks, just at the edge of the shade.

Had a short outing to Lake Mackenzie on a Saturday morning. Found a little cove where I caught numerous white/sand bass and a few smaller largemouth. The largemouth were caught on top water spook and a junior-sized jerkbait.

Out on the yak, patience and light twitching under the private docks east of the bridge will get you some bites

Caught most fish flipping shallow vegetation using a Pit Boss style flipping bait. Green Pumpkin colored baits mixed with darker colored jigs was key.

Working points with the 6 sense Carolina pre rig and a zoom super fluke. Straight white seemed to be the bait of choice. Best bites came on retrieves working the fluke like a jerk bait fast.

Rig your Senko weightless and be sure to make the rig to where the top part of the hook is concealed in the Senko so it does not hang up in the grass. Fish were all on the inside edge of the hay grass and hydrilla. Dead stick it once you get to the inside edge of the grass. If the perch are not driving you crazy you are in the wrong spot.

Found the best fish while flipping pond weed near the bushes. Use a blood knot to tie your 30 lb fluoro to your braid. All you need is about a foot or 2 of the fluoro.
