TechniqueFinesse JigsSeasonSummerStructureDocksFishing report is for 7/12/2023. This was a Greenhorn Wednesday night tournament. We fought through tons of 11 and 12 inchers to come up with the win! My brother came through in the clutch with a biggun on the yamamoto hula grub with about 15 minutes in the tournament! It was about 3.5lbs for the 2nd largest fish of the night. Caught a ton of fish on drop shot rugs, senkos under docks. Overall a good outing with a bit of luck at the end.

TechniqueFrogs/ToadsSeasonSummerStructureLily PadsLake is full of small bass. Best way I have found to catch consistent keeper fish (12in minimum) is by frogging the pads, or running top water toads through the reeds. Finding 5 keeper bites, and a kicker or 2 will put you in a good spot in most tourneys. a bag over 12 lbs is a big bag on this lake.

TechniqueBladed JigsSeasonSummerStructureSubmerged VegetationHad a tournament on the lake this weekend. Caught about 30 bass on a 3/8 oz Jackhammer with a Strike King blade minnow trailer or a jig. Most of my fish were caught burning the chatterbait over the grass in 6-10' feet. Not many big ones but lots of fish around.

TechniqueTexas Rigs (Worming)SeasonSummerStructureDocksTexas rigged 5 inch Yum Dinger plastic worms continue to produce around docks on Big Marine. There's a lot of vegetation around the docks on the lake, so weightless Texas rigged keeps the worm weedless.
