Beautiful morning! Sunny day, calm winds, water was like glass! That's why I decided to try my luck with a top water lure at first, see if I couldn't get one of those heart pounding top water explosions! Threw the KVD Sexy Dawg. I love this bait & have caught good fish on it! Bite has still been tough, however, due to all the bedding activity still going on, so there were no takers! I had an appointment to get to so time was limited. Threw on my confidence bait & what tends to work when nothing else will, the trusty wacky rigged senko. Cast in several spots that looked "fishy" LOL. Rewarded with this nice one on the 2nd cast after I said to myself those often uttered, but rarely obeyed instructions, "last cast". 🤣 Hit it on the fall & it was a very subtle bite. Fought hard for it's size, pulling especially hard near the bank in a last ditch effort to get away! 😅 Quick photo & release & I was off to make my appointment a very happy gal! 😊✌️

Fished after work. Had about an hour, hour and a half of daylight left. Went with my confidence bait, wacky rigged senko! Cast parallel to the bank in front of some vegetation. This pretty one hit it on the fall! Caught one other smaller one. I had a small split shot on the line, about a foot above the hook. Don't know why but it seems to increase my strikes, so I've always done it! Get yourself some GY's & split shot, you won't regret it! Beautiful sunset tonight! Any time spent fishing is time well spent! Tight lines...

Finally, no more cold fronts! It was a beautiful sunny day! Caught some on wacky rigged GYs. Cast them out near points & they'll hit 'em on the fall. Don't forget a hat and gaiter, that FL sun don't play! 😅✌️

We had a warming trend all week and no cold fronts! Beautiful sunny day and finally, no high winds! Strategy was cast out parallel to the bank in front of matted grass. Threw a white Keitech swimbait on a jig head with underspin. Slow steady retrieve and then this big one shot out and choked it! Caught smaller ones on GYs wacky & a spin jig bounced on bottom. Don't forget a hat & gaiter. FL sun is brutal! GREAT DAY!

Matted Grass
It's been tough fishing with the cold fronts moving through & the fact that they have been bedding. I have had success down sizing, using a Z-man finesse TRD on both a ned & a dropshot. Another technique is to look for matted grass along the bank. Throw the Strike King rage bug out parallel, TX rigged, weightless & work it across the front. They'll shoot out & slam it! Don't forget a hat (I linked a nice camo Omnia one) a neck gaiter or sunscreen. That FL sun is blazin'!
