There was a no wake order on the lake because the water is high. We fished pads around the lake due to the higher water. The size of the fish was smaller than normal in the pads, but the quantity was much higher. I always prefer black frogs for the silhouette. I also trim the “legs” down.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueShakey HeadsSeasonSummerStructurePointsCaught a lot of bass today but only found a few good bass. Fishing deep points with rocks and coontail produced the best. Caught a lot of bass on drop shot and Texas rig. But the jig worm produced pretty much all of the large fish.

Northern PikeTechniqueDrop ShotSeasonSummerStructurePointsPike were stacked up on deep points with rock and good vegetation. We were targeting bass but the pike were everywhere. I ended up landing 3 pike over 30” on a drop shot using 8 lb line.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueDrop ShotSeasonSummerStructurePointsThis trip was on of the best this year, as the bass finally moved to deep offshore structure. We found most of our big bass on points in 30-20 ft of water. We looked for rock and weeds and when we found both we often caught fish.

2 snake northerns, a largemouth, crappie, and bluegills and sunnies. If you just want to catch fish…Houdini tickler is the ticket.
