What a grind today. The lake fishes so different now that it's full. Lot's a submerged cover that can eat up your rigs if you're not real careful. I caught a few with a ned rig, but it was hit and miss. End up drifting the dam and after experimenting with jerk baits (caught some aggressive small ones), spinner baits (nothing) football jigs (nothing) I finally hit it big with the tried, true and trusty wacky rig. After switching colors a couple of times, the gray and white of a Yamamoto Senko Smoke Shad was what they were looking for. They liked the slow flutter of a weightless presentation best. It was a last minute decision to fish the dam and was a great way to finish the day!

The bass were hitting this set up hard today. I tried a few other techniques, but this is what they wanted on this day. Texas rigging the Rage Cut-R is such a flawless technique. It slides right through any submerged brush, along with bouncing in and around all the rock piles. I could have left my other rods in the car today....

I changed things up a little from my normal techniques to see if I could get into some larger fish. It's so hard for me not to get sucked up to the shoreline, but I stayed off shore and looked for drop offs in the 20-30 foot range. This sudden cold front seems to have pushed the spawners back out a bit. It took a little patience, but if you twitched those Baby Z's just right, they would take'm. Seems like as long as you have some kind of shimmer in the color pattern, they'll go for it.
