Skipping a shakey head under docks on the rappahanock river. June bug magnum trick worm on a Scott Canterbury shaky head. Caught 20+ bass on the outgoing tide, but no big bass today.

Fishing the creek mouths/drains of the rappahanock on an outgoing tide. The KVD 1.5 in Sexy Shad color performed better then a few other lures I threw today.

Took my Old Town Sportsman 120PDL kayak in the Rappahannock river. I had an incoming tide and even though the outgoing tide produces better, I still managed to catch a couple. I was fishing a weightless wacky rigged yum dinger (June bug).
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueShakey HeadsSeasonSummerStructureLaydownsThrowing Shakey heads on laydowns in the rappahanock. Had an outgoing tide and overcast sky’s. I was using a 1/8 oz Scott Canterbury head, working the worm with the current in the same direction of the tide. Zoom Plum Trick Worms are becoming my one of my favorite colors to throw on a shakey head. I use the Falcon Lowrider Shakey Head rod with a 2500 size Daiwa Fuego reel. In the $130 price range, the Lowriders are one of my favorite series of rods. I own 5 of them now.
