Launched the boat just after sunrise and idled through the fog to my starting spot on the east end of the lake. I started the morning off throwing a 3/8 oz. 6th sense divine swim jig in dark water gill. I had a 6th sense stroker craw in green pumpkin burst as my trailer. I was fishing it on the 7’ 3” Brandon Cobb mag medium heavy with a Lew’s Speed Spool LFS. 7.5:1 I had 30 lb braid spooled up. I was throwing the jig around old Lily pad stems and reeling it in at a slow to medium retrieve giving the rod tip an occasional twitch of the rod tip. It didn’t take long to get bit and I did not lay down that set up until 9:30. I caught 10 bass that went a little over 14 and had a chance at a 16 pound limit but had 2 solid ones jump off shortly after the hook set. Once the sun came up, I switched to a weightless wacky worm throwing it up in the cypress knees and caught a few that didn’t help the overall bag, but it’s still a fun bite. I used stick bait I pour myself. It is a green pumpkin/blue flake.

  Matted Grass
Went out for some evening fishing before sunset and they were hitting top water around the base of the cypress trees and alongside the reed grass edges. Lots of topwater fun!

  Submerged Vegetation
Used the Mastiff 16lb line to bump a squarebill crankbait and a Berkley Power Blade through the old lily pad stems and hugged floating vegetation edges to get some reaction bite throughout the evening. The line casts very well and I could feel some pretty good feed back from it. Also, tossed the Spro frog at the base of the cypress trees to get a few topwater bites.
