Hello Everybody,
Deuteronomy 11:11 But the Land whither you go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven.
Bass fishing is great right now with less pre-fishing for tournaments and tournament pressure the Bass are getting less spoked and biting well again. The morning bite has been awesome with cklients getting a Bass up to 8.5 lbs. this last week on a black frog.
I prefer the Spro frog but the Sumo and Bobbys perfect frog are excellent with Stanleys ribbit frog being preferred by the Bass at times because of its Buzzbait like action. One thing for sure the Bigger Hog Bass love them. When you see that explosion force yourself to hold a second or so to let the Big Bass get that big frog down into his mouth then set the hook hard and get those hooks into his jaw. I have been using 5o lb. spider wire stealth on these frogs to get them out of the heavy vegetation.
Poppers and baby spooks or spook Jrs. in Chrome or Blue back chrome will get bit right now. Because of the hotter weather the shad are schooling in the creek channels durring the hottest part of the day and spinner baits shad imitations in white and chromes will get you bit. Texas crawworms in watermelon red or worms in tequilla sunrise or plum will get some very Big Bites along stumps and cover on ledges of creek channels and around boathouses.
There are so many patterns that will work right now just pull your secret weapons out and work them around channels and points or heavy vegetation and the boathouses and hold on.
Have a safe and blessed 4th and God Bless ourmen of the armed forces who are making it possible to be free and put His angels around them as they continue to fight for Freedom.
