Three Oaks is a great fishery, especially for producing large prespawn bass. Early in the season, I went out on the bridge to the island to fish the substantial rock drop offs there. Someone else was hogging the money spot, but I fished one of the island coves just creeping a hair jig along the bottom in about 10-20 feet of water. I was using a 1/8 oz black marabou hair jig. Linked is a buck tail jig, which works better in the warmer months since I can’t link the exact one.

Tossed this wacky rig right next to the weed line and he took the bait almost instantly. I’ve been having really good luck using the junebug color in any soft plastic so far this summer. She was pushing about 4lbs maybe a little more. Was a beautiful fish.

Hands down the best way to catch largemouth and smallmouth at Vulcan lake is the dropshot. The water here is extremely clear so light line is also essential. Simply walk the banks or rent a boat and fish a dropshot and you are bound to catch em here. I prefer the KVD Dream Shot in green pumpkin but any baitfish presentation on a dropshot will work.

Reel the glidebaits SLOW over grass. The fish can see for a mile. Use straight fluorocarbon. Occasionally give the bait a snap snap for a reaction strike! Caught a nice 3 lb bass doing this! (Lost a 36” pike...)
