Spotted BassTechniqueDrop ShotSeasonSummerStructureFlooded BrushOn the lake at 6. Top water parallel to shoreline early, no success. Cranked points, no success. Switched to drop shot off points/submerged islands, caught half-dozen. 2 1/2 lb biggest fish. Tough fishing as lake at 95% from winter rains. All my landmarks underwater!!

thebrownbear28Bronze AmbassadorSpeciesSpotted BassTechniqueHard Topwater (Walking)SeasonSummerStructurePointsFished submerged trees and rocks on points with a 6th Sense Dogma. Used a slow walk the dog technique and then added a pause in the retrieve. The strike would happen on the pause. If the fish were short striking, would also follow up with a swimbait to catch the picky fish. Used a 6th Sense Treble Head line through with a Trokar EWG Treble Hook #4 size on a Divine 3.8 Pro Shad Color. This combo of lures worked all day!

Lake at 28% due to seasonal draw down at this time of the year. Recent cold front has shut down what bite there was. Seasonal rains a month away. Finesse drop shot best bet at this time or Senko in green pumpkin fished with spinning rod and light line s-l-o-w-l-y!!
