Look for main lake wind blown points, 1/4 turn on the reel for best results. Fish are being caught higher in the water column. Have fun and be safe on the water.

Fishing very slow. Bass sitting just off the bank reacting to very slow presentations.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueHard Topwater (Prop)SeasonSummerStructureBrush PilesJust returned from a kayak event on Wilson Lake and finished in the top 10. The fish are shallow! Most of my bites came in less than 1 FOW which is crazy considering the summer water temps. The fish seem to be related to islated pockets/coves off the main river channel. Locating pockets with bank grass, submerged buck brush, and bait was key to locating the fish. I started the day throwing a choppo along the shoreline. I chased the shadow lines from bluff banks for as long as I could. Once the sun was high, I transitioned to swimming a thunder cricket above the submerged buck brush and tight to the bank grass. Bone color worked best for the choppo. Darker colors worked best for the thunder cricket regardless of water clarity. You will get a lot of bites in the buck brush. However, covering ground was key to locating multiple big fish throughout the day.

With water Temps in the low to mid 50's the bite was still a little slow on the east side of the lake. I found fishing ledges and off steep drops to be key with a slow bait like a jig or ned rig works also.
