I was fishing over some grass mats and I rigged this up with a Mepps number three Aglia weedles rigged.I ran a nice and easy cranking pace. I’d kill it then crank and then kill it then crank and he just came up and blasted the lure. I run a modified Mepps where I put a weedless hook on there and it works out really well, I can also do it with an exposed hook. With the exposed hook I run a 2/0 straight shank rebarb hook. I used Sunline 12lb braid to a Sunline 12lb fluro leader, which allows this setup to flow super smooth.

This lure catches fish all over the place for me! It comes through grass nicely and the fish hammer it! I caught this one bringing the lure up and out of the grass and then over it. I normally yo-yo it if it’s a hard bottom, but with grass I just do a steady retrieve with some pauses and twitches. Set up was a Lews Speed Spin 300 on a St. Croix Victory, with 12lb Sunline braid to a Sunline 12lb fluro leader

In an area with lay downs I was using a modified Beetle Spin to catch Crappie. I had a Bobby Garland Live Roam R on a Mo’Glo jig head that I had swapped out the original 1/16 Beetle Spin jig head with. This modified Beetle Spin was perfect to run along the lay downs. 4lb Sunline was all I needed for this setup. Its sensitivity and strength were spot on for fishing in this area.

Caught this biggun on a Booyah Super Shad quad spinner fishing laydowns. Couldn’t find that actual bait or rod on this platform for some reason but I was also using a Shimano Curado Dc 7.4:1 on a 7’3” MH Daiwa Laguna. Running 15lb braid to a 15lb fluorocarbon leader tied with an FG. All YoZuri line.

Throw a wacky rigged Senko around submerged grass, especially around docks. The docks and grass together were the key to the bigger fish. Also caught a few smaller fish on a jerkbait

I was fishing a shallow area off a point that goes from 2 feet down to 16 feet. I ran the Berkley just off the drop off and he came up and smoked it! This was on the third pass through there. I had a Berkley Power Stinger in matching color as a trailer. The tail on that Power Stinger looks like a bait fish tail 100%. The two paired up are a top notch Pro quality system that catches fish! Give it a try as there are lots of color options to choose from!

Started off early morning with my new Megabass Giant Dog-X, close to the ramp I launched from. I was fishing a flat with some grass, it was close to a deep chanel and some boat docks. You could see the bait fish hitting the surface like they were being chased. We stopped and wham, the top water bite was on. Once the sun started hitting the spot, they quit the walking/top water baits and we started catching them on Strike King Rage Swimmers on Dirty Jig underspin's. It was a very fun morning.
