    Need a separate Technique category for Free-Rigging, its earned it! Free rigged Geecrack Bellows in main basins with gradual drop-offs. 1/4-3/8 oz in 9-15 fow. Nothing else worked that day, put on the Free Rig and caught two 27 inchers and one 28 inch in a half hour.

    6/4/22 Pt. 2 - After my clients wanted to see some variety other than sight fishing bedding smallmouth we chased after largemouth and pike. One of the clients enjoyed the sight fishing experience and used a whacky rig to continue doing so for largemouth. The other was using a Venom spinnerbait and caught largemouth and pike throwing into open water. Grand total in 8 hours we ended up with 68 bass and 29 pike caught...a very successful day for Xstream Bassin' Guide Service!

    6/4/22 Pt. 1 - The smallmouth are in full blown spawn mode and very aggressive on baits in their bed. While doing a guide trip for Xstream Bassin' Guide Service, we chased smallmouth for the first 4 hours and caught 30+ in the 1.5 - 3.5 range with our two biggest weighing in just under 4. Key bait was a TRD CrawZ in multiple colors. A rotation between green pumpkin, the deal, and greasy pawn worked best.

    5/21/2022 - Absolute beat down on the pre spawn largemouth today. It seemed like it was every cast. I was burning a Rat L Trap over submerged vegetation in 4-7 feet of water. It was a bit windy and I had the most success on the weed beds closest to wind blown banks, but the key was to stay 50 - 60 yards off the bank in open water. 54 bass in only 4 hours made for non stop action and a very fun day.

    Water temp ranged from 68 to 72 degrees. Can fish the submerged vegetation for smallmouth and largemouth throwing rattling traps over the top. At times needed to be on inside edge and others needed to be on the outside edge. The small northerns were the biggest problem with this approach. Switched to slip bobber and targeted the rock piles and could find small schools of smaller smallmouth but were able to pull a few 18-20” smallmouth out!

    8/20/2022 Pt. 2: After smacking largemouth in the back waters, I went off shore and caught a lot of smaller smallmouth and 1 really good 3.5 pounder. I went to start skipping docks and found multiple that had a large number of fish on them. There was mostly smallmouth but also some largemouth holding to them too. The big key was green pumkin. The Zman Goat skips very well so I would use it around more open docks. The Zman Palmetto bug was my go to for accurate skipping in tight spots on docks with less poles. For the heaviest cover docks (where I found more largemouth) I would go with a tube to get a better hook up incase the fish wrapped me up and I had to get it untangled. This pattern also produce an almost 7 pound giant Tyler Darling in the tournament. I finished in 2nd place with 17.48 lbs on the day.

    8/20/2022 Pt. 1: The largemouth are starting to school up. I caught a lot of numbers on a combination of 2 spinnerbaits with different blade configurations. The Megabass SV-3 was my choice for the clear water shallow presentation. Due to the double willow configuration I could keep it up in the water column over the grass. It was deadly with the wind and sunshine. For the deeper grass 6-8 ft I used the Venom Lure Double Turtle Back in green pumpkin bluegill. The water was a little dirtier so the extra thump and the ability to run a little bit deeper made a difference. The largemouth would be in tight schools of 5-6 in a pocket. The major key was to cover ground and find them. You could also flip but it was too time consuming for how much they were moving.

    8/12/2022: The bite on Roy is a little tough. We still caught them, but mostly in deep grass or shallow in between the weed lines. Up shallow on the bank they are holding close to shade. The water temp is starting to come down so the bite in September should be top notch. Spinnerbait, spinnerbait, spinnerbait... you might have to tinker with the colors a bit, but you'll catch quality no mater what.
