Striped BassTechniqueSoft Body Swimbaits (Large)SeasonSummerStructureFlooded BrushTried downsizing to the 4.5” Shadtron gizzard shad when I wasn’t getting any action in the 6” swimbait. Immediately hooked up with two large stripers in a shallow cove where the water was slightly stained. Slowed down the retrieve with occasional pauses. The water is warming up and the fish are getting a little more picky. Still hit these swim baits like a freight train!

Slow rolling underspin with 6th Sense Divine Swimbait over submerged reefs and marking fish in about 25 foot of water. Was also finding boils chasing shad and managed to hook into a 15.5lb striper. They were boiling about 10-15 yards off a main lake reef chasing shad. Fish were marking in about 25 foot to surface. Lots of schools in about 25-20foot early in morning. Bite shut down at 9:15am.

All my largemouth were on underspin chasing shad and baby bluegill. I was marking tons of bait balls w/ my graph and could see fish posted up off drop offs. Casted into about 5-7foot of water and slow rolled underspin with Pro Shad Divine Swimbait and hit drop offs that reached 17-23 foot and suspended bass in about 15-20 foot off those drop offs.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueDrop ShotSeasonSummerStructureReefWent out in the heat of the day. Caught 8 total biggest was approx 2.5lb. Hit every reef on main lake (Bass Bay and Castle Creek) and Zoom trick worm caught 5 on drop shot. Biggest came off reef around 20-30 foot on Bellows Gill hooked up on Free Rig. Biggest fish were all on free rig. 1.5-2.5lb rest were smaller on drop shot. Water is getting warmer so I’d imagine the fish will only go deeper. Also caught a couple striper on 6th sense divine swimbait Pro Shad color. That color ALWAYS produces Striper.
Omnia Community MemberBronze AmbassadorSpeciesStriped BassTechniqueTrolling Deep (20'+)SeasonSummerStructurePointsWent looking for boils in the morning did not see any. Trolled some 3 inch swim baits on z man jig heads which has worked well early in the season. But nothing today. Found a good size school amd tried to drop some anchovies but nothing. After this trip going to wait for a week or so and the water should warm up to the mid 80's and we will try the nite bite anchovies under a green light.
