Hot days of summer! Decided to go in the evening because it was a hot one today. Caught over 15 in 3 hours. Most of them were under docks.

Hot day on the water! Water temp is rising and the fish are hiding under docks and in cover. Caught most of our fish under docks. Also went with black/blue because of the water clarity.

The Magdraft is just so versatile. Just cast and retrieve at a slow speed. Just set the hook when you feel a bass bump it. It works so well. Use it near rocks, humps, or weeds.

Most of the largemouth are in the middle of the spawn right now. Some have finished, and some have yet to spawn. Cruise the shallows and cast this Chatterbait with the Spunk Shad Pintail as a trailer. Just cast and retrieve, nothing fancy. You won’t catch a bunch of small fish with this presentation, but the few you catch will be picture worthy.

Smallmouth are making beds. Move in shallow (1’-4’ of water) and look for light circles on the lakebed. Sometimes these will have a darker circle of weeds in the middle. They often will be near structure like a boulder or dock. Pitch the Roboworm Alive Shad onto the bed and twitch it a couple times, then let us rest for 3-4 seconds. You should be able to catch a fish off of almost every bed. It’s extremely productive.

Flipping all around the docks and caught this one near the middle. Caught with baby bass Yamatanuki. These baits are amazing, especially for flipping docks! So easy!
