Dragging this hack attack jig as well as pitching and swimming it around this cover in this lake has been the dynamite way to catch not only numbers but giants.

The key to this win was ripping the spinnerbait through submerged hydrilla. The bites were coming once you ripped the bait through the final edge of the grass. The bass were staged on the edge ready to ambush baitfish coming through the grass toward the main lake.

Water is muddy but dont let it deter you the Bass are still there. Lots of lay downs and water is 3 feet high. Look out for sand bars just under the water. Run your bait just off the bank. Lots of good water to fish, average Bass is 14" and bigger are there. I caught 15 Bass on sat and same for Sunday. Good luck and have fun.

The fish were set up late in the day at the backs of the marina coves. I was slow dragging and slightly shaking the bait. The best 5 I estimate to weigh around 14 to 15 lbs

With water Temps in the low to mid 50's the bite was still a little slow on the east side of the lake. I found fishing ledges and off steep drops to be key with a slow bait like a jig or ned rig works also.
