That is not a mistake on my bass selection. I've been fishing this beautiful lake for 5 years now and have never caught anything but Spotted Bass....until last Saturday. I couldn't believe my eyes when I pulled in that smallie! Anyway...I was crushing it with my standard wacky rig Sexy Shad Senko, but I noticed the fish were slightly suspended off the bottom. So I went to a drop shot with the 6th Sense Glitch and just tore it up from then on. If it was a submerged tree/bush, I would slide that senko by them. And if I came across a sudden shelf drop off, I would get them with the drop shot. Another amazing day on my favorite lake in the world!

Finally had some fun catching with something other than a wacky rig. Not that I'm complaining....I just like using different tactics and getting them to work. I was using the Cloud 9 Crank bait to search them out on points. And then would move in close and crush with the Zoom Trick Worm on a Texas Rig. I love the Okeechobee Craw pattern here at Bullards. The Spotties can't lay off that sparkly blue back. The water temp up another 5 degrees since two weeks ago...
