The key was to find BACKWATER AREAS.....no current, just the back of small backwater areas near bayous. The better quality fish were buried in and around reeds, heavy grass, etc. The strikes were extremely aggressive.

Threw a fluke in an off creek of the main lake on a weightless ewg owner 4/0 twistlock. Some areas that have benefitted from the rains are what I focused on. Skipping over structure such as brush and letting it drop and stop worked. Good luck!

Fishing Report: Deep Creek Channel Success with the New Berkley Moeba Bait The creek channel bite has been heating up, and the new Berkley Moeba bait has quickly proven to be a strong producer when targeting bass holding along deep creek channels. With changing water conditions, many fish have moved away from the shallow areas and are using deeper channel edges, drop-offs, and structure as their primary feeding zones. The key has been locating those channel swings, creek intersections, and deeper transitions where bass can suspend or sit tight to cover while waiting on baitfish to move through. The Moeba’s natural action and ability to stay in the strike zone have made it an excellent choice for probing these deeper areas. Working the bait slowly along the bottom, especially around channel breaks, submerged timber, rock, and current seams, has produced some aggressive bites. The subtle movement of the bait appears to trigger fish that may not be actively chasing but are still willing to feed when presented with an easy meal. A major factor has been patience. Instead of burning through water, focusing on high-percentage areas and allowing the Moeba to work naturally has resulted in more quality bites. The bait has been especially effective when paired with light current and deeper water where bass are using the river’s contours to ambush prey. As water temperatures continue to fluctuate, river bass will continue to position around these deeper channels. The Berkley Moeba has become a reliable option for anglers looking to target those hard-to-reach fish and capitalize on a deeper summertime river pattern. Key Areas: • Deep river channel edges • Channel bends and drop-offs • Current breaks • Submerged structure • Transition areas between shallow flats and deep water Technique: Slow presentation, keeping the bait in contact with the bottom and allowing the Moeba’s natural action to do the work. When the fish move deep, follow the channels — and don’t overlook the power of a new bait that can stay in the strike zone.

Burning a Speed Worm over a pad field, and killing it when the bass aggressively charged after it. Strikes were extremely aggressive to the point if ripping the worm off the hook.

Swimming this swimbait slowly over brush piles in 5 to 6 ft of water. The Gambler EZ Swimmer has an incredible kicking feature that "draws" fish to it. If you haven't tried it, your missing out.

The best frog for the thickest of lily pads and grass....in the mecca of grass fishing - Lake Seminole. This color stands out and allows the bass to be able to pinpoint and visually see the frog...like a bullseye

Locked the docks apart for the win on Lake Toho. The Zman jackhammer and the senko caught all my fish. Dark colored for both. The docks would reset every hour and I was able to come back through to make some culls.

Went out from Toho Marina to the left and started fishing the grass and lily pads on the right before having to turn to go down the lake. I was throwing a Yum Dinger in green pumpkin with a chartuse tail weightless in the grass and pads with the bite coming just as it cleared the vegetation. I had 3 in the boat at 610, 9 overall and was off the water before 9am.

Bass located in and on top of Hydrilla. Throw out and allow worm to settle lots of bites come from worm settling down on top of hydrilla. Reel up slack line and pull worm over and through top of hydrilla much like fishing a C-Rig. You will feel the bite a lot of times as the worm clears the hydrilla stalks. Other times watch your line as the bite will be very soft and see your line moving side ways. Reel up the slack while pointing rod in direction of movement and set hook bringing rod up toward cheek in upward movement. Be sure to set drag properly to get a good penetrating hook set. Now that the weather is getting hot I try to bring the fish in as quickly as possible so as not to tire out the fish, get the hook out, weigh take a quick photo if needed and release back into the water. I keep cut to length swim noodles on top of livewell water to help keep water cool and use G-Juice to treat the water and aerate the water when putting fish in livewell especially when a larger fish needs rest before placing back in water after a good fight. Tight lines!
