Caught a lot of smaller fish on a spinnerbait but slowed down with a weightless senko and caught better fish as the day went on. They were on the outside edges of the buck brush.

Very tough bite fishing in Buck Bay and the San Augustine Park areas. The only consistent bite came on the watermelon red baby brush hog Texas rigged with a 3/16-ounce tungsten weight. The best fish came on laydowns. Had to weed through a lot of dinks. Very low tournament weights.

Caught some decent fish early on the green flapping frog reeled slowly. They ate it great, to the back of their throat. As the day went on, had to switch to the crankbait and a black/blue jig. Water level came up 6 inches throughout the day and still rising. The picture is the San Augustine ramp where the water was well above the rocks on the ramp

Bluebird day with no wind. Had to slow way down. The wacky rigged Senko did the trick. It was a grind but you had to cover a lot of water and go a while between bites. The mastiff line has been working pretty well. Give this stuff a try. It does well in the knot department.
