The choppo in light colors around points and banks upriver were effective early morning. Later in the morning, roboworms in shad and green pumpkin on the dropshot worked in 8-15 ft. Yellow cliff and main lake areas. Topwater should go off soon as the temps come down.

Targeted main lake rocky points, fishing very shallow due to wind pushing bait up against those areas. Didn't catch any giants, but had a fun day catching numbers. When the sun got high, we transitioned to dropshots targeting 10-20ft

Fished a tournament on Saguaro and found bass schooling off of main lake points. Targeted fish below the schools of shad with a C-rig, dragging it pretty quickly and was able to bring in a 14.40lb limit for 4th place. Another notable pattern was targeting bluff walls with dropshots and I had a random 2lber flipping reeds.

Water temp was 85 degrees. Top water should turn on shortly. Caught one on a bone colored choppo. Then went the dropshot route with roboworms in shad or green pumpkin. Mustad alpha finesse hooks had them hooked in about 10-18 ft.

Another scorching day. Bass were chasing shad at first light at entrance to coves off of the main lake. Whopper plopper in whitish colors worked. Later , Roboworms in assorted colors in 15-25 ft dropshotted caught some. Mustad alpha point finesse hook in size 1 with a 1/4 oz tungsten weight was the ticket. These new hooks are very sharp. Not one fish came unhooked.

All my largemouth were on underspin chasing shad and baby bluegill. I was marking tons of bait balls w/ my graph and could see fish posted up off drop offs. Casted into about 5-7foot of water and slow rolled underspin with Pro Shad Divine Swimbait and hit drop offs that reached 17-23 foot and suspended bass in about 15-20 foot off those drop offs.

Roboworms in pumpkin punisher and mm II. Loving the Shimano mastiff as a main line and leader too. 12 lb main and 6-8lb leaders. Was off the lake by 10:30 for the heat.

Went out in the heat of the day. Caught 8 total biggest was approx 2.5lb. Hit every reef on main lake (Bass Bay and Castle Creek) and Zoom trick worm caught 5 on drop shot. Biggest came off reef around 20-30 foot on Bellows Gill hooked up on Free Rig. Biggest fish were all on free rig. 1.5-2.5lb rest were smaller on drop shot. Water is getting warmer so I’d imagine the fish will only go deeper. Also caught a couple striper on 6th sense divine swimbait Pro Shad color. That color ALWAYS produces Striper.

Found isolated fish in 12-16’ on the edges of flats. Got a bunch of Bluegill bites on the Flat worm so switched to the Tube (best bluegill pattern I had with me) and that worked too.
