Wilson is fishing the toughest I’ve seen in a long time. Many of the local hammers are struggling to catch 15lbs. We caught 11.19 lbs and it came off of jigs, buzz baits, spinnerbaits, Texas rigs… I mean it has been tough. I was able to get my first jig bite of the year and it produced the two biggest bites of the day.

We an another good day Saturday at lake Eufaula Alabama. We were able to produce a lot of good bites and caught a lot of fish using the Z-Man goat to punch through matted grass produced some good bites as well as using the Spro poppin frog around Lilly pads and grass. However, the 7.5” culprit original worm produced the best bites around lay downs. We were on the North end of the lake near Florence marina in grass creek for the most part. All of the better bites came in 1-8 feet of water. There are some fish moving to the ledges but the most bites are still coming from shallow water for me anyways lol

Shad spawn is going on now and it is fire the first couple of hours in the morning. My favorite lure this time of year is definitely the swim jig paired with a rage craw. White is the color of choice but any shad color will work. Throw it around the grass on main lake points and any other places the shad are spawning (docks, rocks, etc).

Fish are in all stages of the spawn. We were targeting post spawn fish that had already moved out to the ledges. Used the Aqua Vu to find schools with bigger fish in them. Lots of fish to be caught up shallow with a wacky worm, most were in the 2-3lb range though. We ended up sitting on one school all day and weighed in 21lbs 3oz which put us in 6th place out of 250 boats.

On my practice day my buddy and I caught a bunch of fish on the One Knocker but the day of the BFL the would not touch my lipless. My co-angler caught 14.75 lbs on a small swim bait and super light jig head. I caught this one and it came off of the A-rig. They wouldn’t have a spinnerbait for anything. They only ate the A-rig and small swim baits.

I found a ton of bait fish in the middle of creek pockets and I tried throwing a-rigs, swim baits, minnow style baits, but they liked the one knocker the best!

Water levels are still low and this seems to be affecting spawn. Starting to see lots of small fish in shallower waters.
