Another incredible day with that Senko Sexy Shad on a Wacky Rig. I seriously throw a lot of different techniques just to see if I get better results....but a wacky rig still dominates. So I'll be riding that train until something better comes along. I'm also surprised those points are still the main target area. I keep expecting them to move up shallow in any of the 100's of inlets on the lake...but so far I do a lot better getting larger sizes by staying out on the points. I switched to the VMC Redline Series Hooks from using a lower profile drop shot style hook and it really paid dividends with a much better hook-up ratio.

Bit of a grind today. Fishing was awesome...but the summer people have come out of their caves and there were wake boarders and jet skis flying all over the place. Ugh! Thought I would never say this...but I'm looking forward to late fall and winter so they'll all go away again. I forced that wacky rig set up out of my hands....which is still crushing...and focused on drop shot and texas rig presentations. Love the Zoom Trick Worms for both and Plum is the money color for me. Couple weeks of warm weather seems to have pushed them shallow again for some spawn activities. Probably just a couple weeks away from crank baits and jerk baits being the way to go out here.
