Early morning fishing the Megabass POPMAX. Caught over 10 bass fishing the POPMAX slow in shallow water near surface activity. Later, switched to the hit worm and caught several more bass. One of my best days of the season.

Used the new Core Tackle swim bait and casted over the rocks and bites came where there were weeds mixed with the rocks.

In the morning they would eat the frog really good and as the day went on they wouldn't After about 1 o'clock they started eating the frog really good again which helped us finish 2nd in this little youth tourney. Just find backwater right off the main channel and fish the current breaks. Just normal river bass fishing.

Targeting the riprap residential banks yielded the most number of fish, nothing of real size. Most bites came in the first few feet of the cast.

Definitely a murky lake, algae was floating all over the place along with making the water green as can be. I tried top water, jigs, and wacky worm. Didn’t have any luck until I tied on this lipless crankbait. Fished a ledge in the northern part of the lake, about 5-6 feet of water and was able to pull two in. The fish that’s posted surprised me with the colors though? Very faded and washed out, not sure what could cause that!

Caught several Largemouths with Powerbait Hit worm in 6 to 10 ft of water. Fishing extra slow around vegetation. When we caught a Bass, we would stay and catch more in the same area.

Plenty of Duck Weed pushed over the sparce pads and submerged vegetation. Had to fish a large area in order to find a concentration of bass. Productive but messy method of catching bass.

The temperature dropped significantly last night and affected the fishing today. I threw the kitchen sink at them! I tried everything; jig, crank bait, drop shot- nothing. I switched to a smaller ZMan TRD and caught this one on the first cast. I tie a 5-6ft leader of Seaguar fluorocarbon attached it with an “Alberto” knot to the Suffix braided line.

The bite changed throughout the morning. Early there was a good bite on wacky worms around the docks. Mid morning the bite moved to the deeper weed edge on a Ned rig. By lunchtime the jet skis started to churn up the lake, the clarity dropped and the fish were caught on a Jackhammer tipped with a panorama.

Fished Delavan on a weekday to avoid the crowds and we were rewarded. Largemouth seem to be feeding shallow all day. Covering the large pad/matted grass fields around the lake with a frog and following up with a 3/4 or 1 ounce punch rig seemed to get a few extra not wanting to commit fully to the frog. Ik

Classic summertime largemouth fishing with fish busting small bluegills around lily pads and other weedy cover. Fan casting the MB Fat Finesse rigged Neko style around weed edges accounted for a number of nice largemouth. Largest fish were located near the deep weed edge drop off. Pitching short to the thickest lily pads clusters and submerged weed patches proved most effective.

Did not catch many fish tonight before the storm but got this nice one shortly before having to leave! I was fishing the frog over open water weeds and she couldn’t resist! The swamp lord is quickly becoming my favorite frog. Greta hook up ratio and great walking motion.

Action was not hot and heavy. Caught just about everything before 10:00 a.m. Caught 2 really nice bass on the 6" magdraft. A fat 17" fish that weighed 3.4# and the pictured 20 incher that went 4-1/4. Had a few other nice fish follow to the boat but couldn't convert them to biters. Wore my Omnia Fishing Simms sunset most of the day, color kept me from getting too hot and is a comfortable shirt. I typically wear Huk shirts, but I might have to pick up another of these Omnia Simms shirts!

Water came up a couple feet, had to adjust and move to fish the bank and inside weedlines. Had all my biggest come in this jig, small hops mixed in with full rips when the jig got caught up in the grass.

Had to search for them a bit with water level changing and colder nights, this set-up for a Texas rig is easy to use and efficient to cover water. Focused most of my time on easy to see weedlines, with access to deeper water.
