When fishing in very stained water, a great approach is to flip cypress trees in 5 feet of water. Using a combination of hard and soft jerkbaits, as well as weightless plastics such as senkos, can be effective in this situation. Paragraph 2: To maximize your chances of catching fish, it's best to focus your efforts around the bases of the trees. This is where the fish are more likely to be holding, and where your baits will have the greatest impact. By following these tips, you'll be well on your way to a successful day on the water.

Water was tanic. Cloudy most of day. Air temps 55-65 with breeze out of the south. Caught 22 bass mostly on the Black/Blue Senko both Texas rigged and Wacky style. Fish were staged at base of Cyprus Trees. You had to let the bait soak at times to get a bite.

Bite was solid on a 4 day trip to Caddo. Sunday the wind shifted and was out of the north which slowed the bite slightly. Fishing was still good with a slower presentation. Fish were tight to the base of Cypress trees and were mainly found in the ones a few yards away from the submerged Islands versus the ones in the middle of the flats. Was also able to catch a few good ones in the very shallow water heading into the small islands. Worms and jigs pitched at the bass if trees was most productive but was able to get some better quality fish swimming the Magdraft on the shady side of the trees. Fish well!
