The bass cooperated on Big Marine today. I caught 17 by working the submerged weeds in 7 to 12 feet of water with wacky rigged Senkos. Green pumpkin, pumpkin, and purple all worked. The biggest was 18 inches.

The small bass were roaming in 5 to 7 feet of water. The bigger bass were in the 8 to 12 foot zone. Dragging wacky rigged Senkos on the bottom worked well.

Good fishing, water temp was 66 degrees and very clear, fishing in 5-10 feet of water in weeds and long weed lines, all weeds had fish no difference in milfoil or Lilly pads or just regular weeds. lipless crank caught more fish than any other lure, yo-yo technique and just reeling in, jackhammer chatter bait in bhite delight with a electric shad zako trailer also worked, bass we’re definitely casing blue gill, all the hits were aggressive and the lipless got choked every-time.

I fished all over the lake and tried a bunch of techniques. First off I hit mid depth and deep cabbage with wacky rigged Senkos. Then I drifted an open water basin in 10 FOW with a Bandit 100 root beer crankbait. Next I fished lily pads with a frog. I had a lot of missed hookups in the pads. Then I fished a ledge with Senkos. I finished up on a 7 to 8 foot flat with a twister tail grub and spinner. My total catch was 12 bass.

The fishing was very similar to last week. Most of my fishing was done between 4 and 12 feet of water. Bass were really relating to underwater cabbage. Drop offs and flats above drop offs were productive. Wacky rigged Senkos produced the most bites.
