Hopped out on Joe Pool Lake today and had a great day! Caught Fish on the top end of the rocky ledges bringing a 6th Sense Divine Swimbait 2.7 Ghost Ice Minnow Color mimicking the small forage they are feeding on. Caught a few on the Drop Shot in about 8-10ft of water near the Dam as well. We also hooked into another good Largemouth on a Strike King White Spinnerbait 1/2 oz on bringing it over the top of a Brush Pile. Rod used for the 2.7 Divine Swimbait is the Dobyns Champion XP 703sf.

The sun was very high when I was fishing in the summer. Water was just getting to the mid 80’s. I fished a couple night tournaments and did really well with 5 fish going 4.2lbs. Remember Joe Pool is a slot lake and your fish have to be under 14” or over 21”. I cranked down many banks but the best ones were ones not directly facing the wind and ones that had chunky rock.

Caught this biggun on a Booyah Super Shad quad spinner fishing laydowns. Couldn’t find that actual bait or rod on this platform for some reason but I was also using a Shimano Curado Dc 7.4:1 on a 7’3” MH Daiwa Laguna. Running 15lb braid to a 15lb fluorocarbon leader tied with an FG. All YoZuri line.
