Landed several bass fishing laydowns and shade line on a shady bank all morning. Fished the wacky senko weightless in 2-8’ of water. Cast it out and let it do its shimmy.

Over the July 4 weekend I fished with a family member over several days in Barnett’s Creek off of the North River. Even with temperatures in the 90s and water temperatures ranging from 83° in the morning and 89° by afternoon we managed to catch several decent Bass, one catfish, and one crappie over that period of time. We used several baits with the Berkeley Choppo being the main bait. We also caught bass on Rapala Shad-Rapp, a Strike King KVD 1.0 in sexy shed, and a Jenko Fishing Shinobi Shad in the snot rocket color. The heat was immense, so we finished early and late in the day. The vast majority of our fish were caught while working the reed line along the creek. Top water and shallow diving crank baits seem to work the best.

Got on some largemouth in shallow brush with the chicken rig. We were seeing them up in shallow pockets, all the way up to a foot or less of water chasing shad. By midafternoon most everything that would bite was tucked on the bottom. We’d see free roaming fish on scope but they didn’t show interest in most things we threw that wasn’t on the bottom.

I would throw my Ned rig out off the drop off and let it sink to the bottom with the bell open. Then i would close the bell and very gently shake my rod tip and then lift it off the bottom. The Ned rig flat out catches fish not always big ones though.

I was paddling around in a canoe skipping under overhanging trees or trees that were partly submerged. I would let my wacky rig fall on slack line and then i would flip the bell once it hit the bottom. I would let it sit lift it then let it fall back down again and repeat the cycle.
