Additional comments from this report: "Double hopping 1/4oz Canterbury Shakey Head with Netbait 6.5” T-Mac worm in an isolated grass patch in ~13’ triggered several bass to bite, including this 5lber. Two hops, let it sit for a few seconds, two hops, and repeat. "

Reported by
Mac
Green Valley Lake (IA)
Mac reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Shakey Heads technique and Sunline Super FC Sniper on Green Valley Lake. Additional comments from this report: "Bass are lethargic right now, fish the shakey head very slow around deeper structure to pull them out of their cover. Plenty of bass to be caught in the 10-18 ft range if you find the correct structure. Almost fall transition so this bite is subject to change soon."

I caught 10 within the first 2 hours on the water and several others throughout the evening. "

Reported by
Ways Raasch
Green Valley Lake (IA)
Ways Raasch reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Shakey Heads technique and Sufix Advance Fluorocarbon on Green Valley Lake. Additional comments from this report: "Fishing was pretty tough. Post-front, algae bloom on the water, 50-degree water, and plenty of pressure in the tournament. The only way that I could get them to bite was by tossing my shakey head past the brush pile, pulling it into it and they just barely shook my worm. The bite was just a little extra weight and you'd just have to reel into them. Once they were hooked it was a sea sawing game to get them out. Keeping the drag backed off even on the hookset was important. "

Fishing was a little bit better then yesterday but still struggled to find much size. We stuck to channel swing banks and secondary points in the middle portion of creek arms. Best two fishing methods were Shakey heads and drop shots. The Shakey head produced much better the first half of the day and the drop shot was the ticket the second half. The Shakey head I used was a homemade football style similar to the one above in 3/8oz. The Spike-it was key because of the stained water. We boated 40 fish all day with a 11-12lb limit. If you just wanna catch fish this was fun but I didn't come across and big ones.
