Lets start out saying this August has been one for the record books. Catching Bass in August is usually a grind and we have had a day or two like that this month but the others have been like April fishing, It doesn't seem to be a secert spot that is working for me but the type of spots seem to be key, and host of lures. Ok it might sound like junk fishing but its just about having the right tools for the area your fishing.
Had a few returning clients this week again and you'll recognize them if you read these weekly.
Megan was on her 3rd trip and I think she has learned a great amount just about bass fishing in her trips with me, and David is one step closer to getting moved here. HAHA
Fished a tournament Saturday with a great friend that started as a client we ended up in 2nd place with 19 lbs yea and we had a 8.03 pound largemouth that Joel caught (not may anglers can say they caught a 8 pounder in a tournament ) if you threw out the two 15 inch fish we had we would of had a great avg. lol Congrats to Jason and his partner on the W.
Here is a little more details
Shallow: Hard to beat a top water, burning a Big Spanky on top has been a fun way to catch a few. ( not only in the morning)
4x4 Swim jig 1/4 oz with a Little Spanky as the trailer (lily pads have given up a few good ones)
Flipping a B BUG in the holes of the grass.
Mid Depth: 4x4 Swim Jig with a Little Spanky swimming through the stalks of grass have been good for some big uns early has been the key on this bite.
BIG WORM NetBait's C Mac has been the go to since June hands down the best worm bite I've had.
Flippin a Big Weight and Paca Craw will get your arm jerked on when the sun is blistering out.
Deep: Yup found a few out deep this week not many but did have a big day with a 4x4 Football Jig (Kevin Hawk Signature) with Paca Craw
