    I knew I could get'em with a wacky rig Sexy Shad Yamamoto Senko...which I'm not going to lie, I did. But I'm really trying to up my game using jigs. So I spent some time with the Strike King Tour Grade with a 6th Sense Bongo Craw trailer and was knocking it out of the park. I stayed out on the main body and was casting to submerged boulders and ledges. Interesting that they didn't seem to be in any submerged vegetation yet? They're still relating to drop offs and ledges. This might be my last report from Bullards for awhile....the Summer people are out in force and I just can't put up with the wake boarders and jet skis everywhere. I'll look forward to them going away in September.

    Had a great day on my favorite lake within 100 miles of my home. It was a very hot, sunny and still day. The fish didn't want to work too hard, so slowing things down with a Strike King Magnum Dreamshot, Blue Craw RedFlake did the job. I actually started off with plum colored finesse worm wacky rigged on my drop shot. But I only had three of those and was out of them fairly quickly. They were the only plum colored finesse worms I had. So after trying a few other colors with no luck, I switched over to the Magnum Dreamshot....20 fish later, I called it a day.

    I love this lake! First off....the Gee Crack Bellows Stick is fast becoming a favorite when I'm using a drop shot. It flutters so naturally, that even with a slow and steady return, it's wobbling all over the place. And the Natural Pro Blue is a perfect imitation for the kokanee those Spotties love to feed on. They can't resist. Those Woo Drop shot weights are pretty nice also. They slip through rocks and cracks very easily and if it does get hung (not often) the fact they slip off your line instead of breaking off your entire set-up saves you a lot of hooks and baits. Also, a strong recommendation for the Zoom Trick Worm in Plum for your Texas Rig set-up.
