Fishing the Super BFL as a coangler this weekend forced me to be more creative than usual. This included adding a feathered treble to my topwater which is what the majority of my fish came on. The other rig that did a lot of work offshore was a drop shotted roboworm. These were the two baits I utilized on underwater humps to catch schooling fish. However, on both days my kicker fish (2lb 15oz on day 1 and 4lb 1oz on day 2) both came from floating docks. This is where I turned to the 2.8" Keitech on the MB Okashira head on day 1 and a 168 S-Waver in the Warden colorway on day 2. Fun tournament that I ended up finishing second in after I brought in the heaviest coangler bag of 10lbs 6oz on day 2.

Between catching fish on a walking bait and dropshotting the same areas and brushpiles that they came up schooling from, I was able to win a local Saturday tournament with 11.65lbs and BB for 3.65. Bites were consistent and the fish were all close in size. This is basically the same pattern I was on for the BFL but with a few different tweaks. Fun day of fishing and a day of catching fish.

Fish were random, but most up around 2 to 4 ft in brush piles, or ends of laydowns. Caught 4 bass, but all less than 13.5 inches.

Fished the lower end of the lake with a white toad on a buzzbait. The fish were holding on water willow around docks early in the morning during low light. They moved further out as the sun came out.

Run the pockets looking for spawners. Target isolated grass, timber, docks, and rock with a wacky rig senko.
