It’s that time of year! Some of the better fish are moving up to the shallows and starting to eat. For me the magdraft was my main bait by fishing it around any cover I could put it. Paired with the Megabass Orochi XX Perfect Pitch, it is the best rod for the 6” magdraft. As well as trying out the new Shimano Mastiff Fluorocarbon. I used 18lb test and it done wonders fishing wood, rock, grass, etc. I had a bass take off with my Magdraft and rubbed against a metal beam underwater and was still able to get the fish out with little to no issues. If you’re looking for new line to try out, be sure to pick up a spool or two of the Shimano Mastiff. Good luck out there and catch em up!

The fish were absolutely chewing during this trip. The main techniques were vertical jigging and throwing a jerkbait. For the vertical jigging, I was focusing the deeper brush piles between 25-40 ft of water, as well as small wolf packs of bass suspended in the water. This technique I was fishing a bit more aggressive than I would normally, by jigging the bait in place and stopping it above the brush then would cause the reaction strike from those fish. The jerkbait caught most of the fish in between 8-20 ft of water. The fish were very aggressive when it came to a jerkbait so I wouldn’t pause the bait as much as other people would (2-3 seconds at most) majority of fish hit it while I jerked the bait over their heads and came unglued. If you have livescope, this will help you indicate what the fish’s behavior is so adjust your presentation accordingly. Good luck guys and gals. TIGHT LINES!
