Deep diving crankbaits will get bit on Stillhouse Hollow in summer. There is a lot of hard rocky bottom on Stillhouse Hollow to grind a crankbait over. The odds of getting a bite are greatly increased when the crankbait makes contact with the bottom. I typically throw this bait on 15LB or 17LB fluorocarbon line. The Helsinki Shad is a great color for Stillhouse. Check out the video to see the Rapala DT catch some keepers.

The Ned rig catches them on Stillhouse Hollow when its tough to get a bite. A 1/10 oz ZMan jig head with a TRD Tickler is a good combo on a spinning rod. The bass mostly eat this bait while it is slowly sinking to the bottom. Stroke the ned off the bottom and they will eat it on the fall. 8LB fluorocarbon line or 10LB braid to 8LB fluorocarbon leader work well with this bait. Check out the video of the Ned jig in action.

I started out throwing a frog sound and on grass mats. Bites were few and far between for me today. They are eating the frog though, just not many for me today. I switched over to my spook and started catching them. I was throwing around standing timber from the bank to about 10’ of water. The grass edges end in about 15 to 20 feet of water. Biggest and most came on a spook.
