Launched the boat just before sunrise. Idled over to the pad fields with a 3/8 oz black and blue 6th sense divine swim jig with a twin tailed grub in black with blue flake and locked it into my hands until 9:30. I caught 10 bass from sunrise until 9:30 and then the bite shut off with the swim jig. I did manage to catch one solid pre-spawner amazingly in the pads leading into a spawning flat. She went 8 lbs. After the swim jig bite shut down I tied on a 3/16 oz vmc worm weight and a 3/0 EWG trokar and started crawling a cut’r worm through the grass. I managed to catch another 5 bass with one going about 3 pounds. The rest of the fish were a pound or under. The swim jig was getting the better bites for sure.

Launched the boat just after sunrise and idled through the fog to my starting spot on the east end of the lake. I started the morning off throwing a 3/8 oz. 6th sense divine swim jig in dark water gill. I had a 6th sense stroker craw in green pumpkin burst as my trailer. I was fishing it on the 7’ 3” Brandon Cobb mag medium heavy with a Lew’s Speed Spool LFS. 7.5:1 I had 30 lb braid spooled up. I was throwing the jig around old Lily pad stems and reeling it in at a slow to medium retrieve giving the rod tip an occasional twitch of the rod tip. It didn’t take long to get bit and I did not lay down that set up until 9:30. I caught 10 bass that went a little over 14 and had a chance at a 16 pound limit but had 2 solid ones jump off shortly after the hook set. Once the sun came up, I switched to a weightless wacky worm throwing it up in the cypress knees and caught a few that didn’t help the overall bag, but it’s still a fun bite. I used stick bait I pour myself. It is a green pumpkin/blue flake.
