- Species
Largemouth BassTechniqueUmbrella RigsSeasonSummerStructureStanding TimberTargeted main-lake flats and ledges using an Alabama rig to locate active fish. Followed up with a shaky head and Texas-rigged soft plastic to pick off bass holding tight to the bottom that would not commit to the moving bait. Most bites came from fish relating to deeper structure and showing little willingness to chase. Slow presentations near bottom contact produced the most consistent results.

Panfish / BluegillTechniqueBobbersSeasonSummerStructureDocksKids had a fun time catching a lot of bluegills from the pontoon, kayak and dock. They had to sort through many scrappy smaller fish to find the quality size gills. The shady areas of docks and main lake bluff walls were the primary locations. Vertical jigging or casting a float and jig to the dropoffs or shaded areas proved to be the most consistent presentation. Great way to get young kids hooked on fishing!

Fished a night tournament and had caught a majority of our fish right before dark. The water temp was 67 and most fish already off the bed. We caught our fish on rage bugs and shakey heads on steeper rock walls on the main lake.
