Bite continues to be tough, but if you concentrate on the drains with bait you can catch some decent fish. They are not bunched up but they are there. Focus on the 10-20' depth range.

Fish were set up on the clumps of lily pads near drains as the tide was falling waiting for baitfish to get swept by them.

Caught some on a crank bait but the best fish came on Carolina rigged Slinko in black/blue. We had a few break-offs and it hurt as it was a very slow bite. We believe the south end of Toledo, where we fished turned over this past week, causing the fish to scatter and the bite to get very tough. Should be better next weekend.

Fishing out front of deep channels. Where the channel would fall off into the river banks. 16 to 20’.. bouncing the Gremlin along, letting it pause for a second. Most of the bites they would just pick the bait up and swim off with it. Wasn’t a sudden bite. It’s sure some hot days to come with the weather. May I just add, all our anglers to be safe on the lakes.

Ended up have a consist bites. Fishing rock ledges at 12’ falling off to 28’ into the deep river cliff ledges. Was a different technique today. Usually the lure is fished downward of the fall. Just not that many bites that way. So decided to fish the lure from the deep to the shallow upward of the ledge. An that way the key. Might not work for everyone. But that style fishing was key on this adventure.

Started out early, with LUCKY HOOK GUIDE SERVICE. New the exact spot to boat up to a large shoot Of fish shallow. Running the baitfish on the edge of matted grass Pad. Slowly working the lures back. We had several blow up. That just didn’t hook up. In my opinion. They where big fish. Every fish caught and released where a 3+# average. As the school moved out deeper as the sun got higher into the day. I followed the with my Garmin system out deeper. An they kept biting in a 8’ to 10’ depth average. Seems to be the best or most bites is rite before day break or night fall. Just due to the summer heat.

Had good grace today with the hula grub rigged Texas and fishing drains with vegetation. Look for brim beds as that was where the better bites came. When you find those beds fish that area well because the bass are near. Also caught some small ones on the DT-20. All depths were between 8-16’
