Today was 85 degrees with a slight breeze. Best quality bites came on the Zara spook. Topwater bite slowed down unless you found shade as the sun got high. Caught spinnerbait fish on a few windy banks and when we slowed down I threw a rage bug on rock piles and around grass. Fish came from 0 to 15’ deep. Rods by Irod fishing!

The senko works everywhere year round. This bait especially works well on Lake LBJ. Flip a senko into any dock and the chances are you will get bit. I prefer a green pumpkin color with flake in it. Find brush pile on Lake LBJ at the back of boat docks. Check out the video of the Texas rigged senko finishing off a limit for a W on Lake LBJ.

Throwing a spinnerbait in the river sections of Lake LBJ can produce big bass. When the dam is open spinnerbaits work around piling and retaining walls where there are current breaks. A swimbait trailer has gotten me bites when using this bait. Gold blades for murky water and silver blades for clear water is a good rule of thumb for spinnerbaits. The spinnerbait is good selection for a moving bait option when the bass are chasing shad. Check out the video of a 7LB bass smoking my spinnerbait first cast of the morning in a Media Bass tournament.

Chilly morning with little wind today. Top water early but didn’t last long. Found some nice fish with a DD22 bumblebee crank. I was Throwing Irods Quercus 7’10” wild card deep Crankin rod with an Abu Garcia revo winch 5.4:1 and 12# Kastling Kovert Xtreme line. Skipping docks with sencos also produced some fish today as the sun got higher. No cloud cover. High bright sun today.

First of all the lake is muddy from our past storm. Water temp was 68.4. Shallow fishing was a bust for me. Water visibility was poor. A lot of schmuck while trying to skip shallow docks. I fished deeper docks with cranks and skipped a senco. Not a lot of fish caught but it was a nice peaceful day out on the water. I used a Irod Quercus wild card deep Crankin rod paired with a revo winch and Berkley big game green 12#. While skipping I used a Irod Genesis III IRG714C-H paired with a revo zeta using 50# power pro braid. I pegged a 3/16 oz sinker with a 5” green pumpkin senco. All my bites were in deeper water on rock piles or skipping deeper docks.
