On a cloudy summer morning, I was fishing up in the river for any type of fish that was gonna bite. Since it was really cloudy this morning, I decided to throw a topwater walking bait to cover some water quickly. Today I was able to get one big largemouth on the evergreen shower blow 3 inch and a couple smaller spotted bass on it. I was throwing this small topwater bait on my megabass orochi enforcer with a diawa ballistic 3000 mq. I had 10lb braid on it with a 12lb mono to keep the bait from catching onto the braid. I was making most of my cast to area I see bait being chase on top. Most of the areas I was fishing was 10ft and shallower. As for my cadence, I was working the bait pretty fast. They didn’t really want jt when I was going slow with it. This 3 inch evergreen shower blow if really good to match the smaller bait that is up the river right now. Later on in the day, I switched to a vision 110 and caught couple small spotted bass.

During the dead of summer, I went out to the river to see if I can even catch anything. Usually during this time of year, it’s so hot nothing really wants to eat. The best way to catch any fish during this time of year when it’s so hot is to use live bait. Today I used a cast net and caught some shad and use them as bait. I was free lining the live shad on my megabass orochii enforcer spinning rod with a vanford 4000. I had 20lb braid to 20lb mono leader. I was using a size 1 hook for free lining because the smaller hooks allows the bait to swim more freely. I casted the bait out into deepest areas that was atleast 10 ft deep and let the bait swim around until it got bit. I was able to get a couple big blue catfish using this method. This technique allows me to catch almost any species in the river. But this day, only catfish was biting the live bait.
