Shallow early deep grass lines as the day progresses. Early morning 2-5 foot around hydrilla beds has been great as of late. As the day progresses, yo yo the lipless crank bait aling deeper grass lines along ditches and man made canals. Hanging the bait in the grass and piping out had produced the bite more often than not.

The fish are schooling around bait on the edge of deeper grass lines and points. The COG worm has been getting bit while Texas rigging it on a 1/16 oz epic tungsten with a spear point 5/0 hook. The deeper grass lines on the edges of the man made pits have been key areas for my clients. Fishing it slow almost dragging it like a caroling rig.

The top water frog bite with the worm fishing mixed in has been fire lately. Target hydrilla wall edges next to deep water near the man made pits as the day progresses. The frog bite has been pretty good around the Lilly pad fields on the east side of the S canal.

Captain, Steve here. The Croc O Gator Swamp swimmer worm continues to produce size and numbers of Bass Here on headwaters. Fission of 1/16 ounce Texas Rig has been the key to a lot of bites. Fishing moving beats early as well as top water has also been producing some good fish. The south part of the lake has been showing out lately with these presentations fishing the edge of the Hydrilla Early and then moving to the edges of the Hydrilla mats as the day progresses.

Captain Steve here from Fl Big Bass Adventures. Fishing the drops on the edges of the man made deeper water pits was key today. We would cast into 3-4 foot and drag the croc o gator worms through the grass to the break where the fish were staging. Summer pattern mostly right now and the fish are in bunches. Catch one and slow waaaaay down and pick the area apart. Texas rigged with a 3/16 oz epic baits tungsten was the set up. Tight lines.
