Caught some good top water action walking a spook. Had a giant blow up on me right off the bat, right next tot he boat that scared the crud out of me and I jerked too soon. After that I was able to slow down and stick about 6-7 decent fish. Over the top of hydrilla in less than 10 feet depth. Be sure to change your hooks on all your top water and crankbaits to the triple grip hooks. I rarely lose a fish with those hooks. They really are the best for any bait that has treble hooks. The braided line was huge as well as some fish would drag it down into the grass, but with the braid and the triple grips I did not lose any but that first one.

Caught a lot of fish this trip. All came from around the hay grass. Best bite came early while it was overcast and foggy. Alternated between the Senko in watermelon red and the white jackhammer with a zoom twin tail white trailer. Bite slowed down once the sun got up. Post spawn is in full-swing. Still can catch a few late spawners as well.

The early morning top water bite has been great. They are smashing the baits when they are sitting still. Work it subtly and then let it sit. Fun times. As the day goes on you will have to slow down. We did well with weightless Senko's.

Fishing flooded grass and Lilly pads with the Ribbit frog so I could cover water quicker and when the sun came out II slowed down with the NetBait Paca Slim Crawl and flipped flooded Bushes.

Flip the cypress knees with a weightless stick bait when the sun gets up. There are still a lot of shad shallow, but shad spawn appears to be done.
