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.

Water clarity in main lake was 3ft and thermocline at 18ft. Primarily used DRT Tiny Klash on deeper shaded edges and parallel to shore. There was a lot of smaller shad bait balls with crappie on them just above the thermocline. Also used reaction innovations man bear pig off grass line.

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.

Evening dusk bite. Top water bite is still working well during the low light period on the lake. White bass were also very active busting shad on the surface in pockets. The walking bait was the ticket the popper got a couple of hits but no commitment.

Trip to the neighborhood ponds. Fishing has been tough but was able to get out during a light shower which made for a good time. Had to get a little creative with what I dubbed the “Ned shot.” Used a dropshot setup (size 1 mustad alpha weedless hook with a robot worm) with a Ned rig (1/10 oz with robo Ned worm) as the weight. Casted directly into bait balls in the shallow, with light jigging action.

Mid-morning kayak trip. Dead summer has made the bite slow. Working boringly slow drop shots along the humps and vegetation lines was the most effective. Bass were keying in on smaller baitfish. Tested out the weedless Mustad Alpha point drop shot hooks for this trip. Hook is sticky and weedguard is a good mixture of preventing snags while not interfering with the hookset.
