SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueSwim JigsSeasonSummerStructureBrush PilesAnother good day yesterday at lake Eufaula Alabama! The 6th sense swim jig did most of the work around brush piles in 10-15 foot of water but the 7.5” culprit worm ultimately caught the biggest fish which was 5 pounds 4 ounces, also caught a 5 pound 2 ounces and several over 3 pounds with the best five fish being just over 21 pounds. I use the Shimano mastiff fluorocarbon for both techniques and let me tell ya that stuff just keeps surprising me even pulling swim jigs and worms through brush piles, it stays strong it provides incredible sensitivity as well as durability and with the coating shimano puts on the line even your knots are stronger which is a huge plus when throwing heavy glide baits and swim baits around.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueDeep Diving Crankbaits (13'+)SeasonSummerStructureLedgesMid June ledge fishing with surface temps around 82-85 degrees. It's important to locate a school of fish before stopping to fish a ledge. Once the school is located, I started with the boat sitting in about 30-35 feet of water casting up to around 7-8 feet of water with a deep diving crankbait to try and generate a big bite and fire up the school. If the bite slowed down on the crankbait, I would follow up with a big worm dragging it on the bottom to get some clean up bites.

Mayflies hatched! We found fish chasing shad on shell beds and flats, but we probably should've gone shallow to chase bass eating the bluegill that moved up to eat the mayflies. Still found fish deep, but probably missed out on a good bite up there!

Water was muddy and it had just rained, so flooded willow patches were best this day. There was probably a bite going shallow too, but found a few nice onces up in the grass.

The bass are no longer focused on spawning in Lake Eufaula and have made there move offshore towards deeper water, where there is an abundance of bait. The fish are pretty beat up after the spawn and are looking to beef back up for the summer time and try to use as little energy as possible to do so. This results in a large number of fish relating to the abundance of man made brush piles scattering all over the lake, for an easy hide out and allowing their meal to come to them. Brush piles are a great fish producer on Lake Eufaula and the hardest part about fishing them, is dissecting the type of brush and what depth the fish are holding in. Recently the water level has been high and kept a large number of the fish shallow and stopped them from making the swim to the main river ledge, their summer hangout, so finding the fish in that in between level was where I had my success, fishing the shallower brush in 8ft to 12ft of water. Fishing an aggressive fast moving bait first in the pile, then following it up with a big worm on a texas rig to clean up.
