Big fish were smashing the Jack Hammer! Fish in the video is 6.25lbs. Best 5 went over 21lbs and 92.75 inches. I didn't have the right rod for the Jackhammer so I just ordered one here on Omnia!

Although there was an abundance of baitfish in the lake, the bass were still feeding on craws. Most of the bass I caught that day had intenas sticking out of their throats! The key that day was just to let the jig crawl over every rock slowly and they were picking it up!

First time on this lake. Very fishable. They don't allow wake boarders or jet skis....which is awesome! I primarily stayed with a Texas Rig because I was exploring the entire lake and it kept things simple. The fish seemed to be hanging around in the 20-30 ft deep range. Probably liked the cooler water. Next time out there, I 'll try some different techniques and see what happens. But I'm not sure why when I seem to do so well with a Texas Rig???

Fished the Shimano Curado MGL 150 for the first time. Hands down, one of the smoothest and farthest casting reels in my arsenal! Will become one of my top 2 or 3 reels. I will be purchasing more of these. 10 out of 10. Tighten down spool tension and put brake setting on 5, and you will launch 3/16 oz T-rig with no backlash.

Fished the BBT Saturday & Sunday could only manage 1 good bite a day. Ended up with18# day 1 and 15 1/2# day 2. Started the morning fishing rock piles with shakey heads and neko rig with the new Mustad Alpha hook I’ve been testing (works great!) Switched to the frog at 10am both mornings which produced the bigger bites.

Bit of a tussle today. But the Strike King Game Hawg (Blue Craw Pattern) finally broke me through. That is just a very high probability bait regardless of location or conditions. Anyone else out there fishing Pardee. Such a great spot with no wake boarders or jet skis allowed. It's all fishing! Would love to see how others are fishing this body of water.

Bass ate crankbaits into mid afternoon, colors resembling shad were the go-to. Berkley Frittside Honey Shad and Googan Baits Flat Banger Shotgun Shad were the go to baits.

What a difference a week makes, still hot but they were chewing! Was getting 15-20 every morning and evening with many over 4# including 3 pushing 6#. Neko rig was the main player but got some cranking. Used that Mustad Alpha hook again with great success.
