Drop shot is working. 4" black blue senko

Sorry for the pic posting error. So much for smart phones and dumb operators

I've had to resort to a senko for most of my catching lately - which is bittersweet because I'd much rather catch them other things. Like this fancy Pompadour I just picked up.

 

Ned has been good to me, too, for hitting them in deeper water.

Double chrome willow leaf spinner baits with a black skirt. I bend the blade shaft parallel to the hook shank so I can keep them up. I retrieve them a inch under the surface or churning. 

I'm also still catching with toads. I'm in 2-4 feet of water usually on the north shore, east shores or somewhere in between. I don't start fishing until at least 12:00 this time of year. 

The banjo minna

My best lure lately has been the new Strike King Redeye Shad Tungsten 2 Tap. It has been doing absolutely great for me recently!

Just bought a couple SPRO Bronzeye shad to throw tomorrow. Clear Chartreuse a Red Ear and a Neutral Green Popper frog.

The rage tail space monkey and craw did good for me today, rigged rage style with a 1/8 owner screwlock hook dragged across the top quick like a buzzbait.

With Fall here, I've been killing them on a homemade swim jig!

Rage Blade with a menace trailer

Gambler EZ swimmers, Big Ez's and burner worms caught me a lot bass on Lake Okeechobee yesterday. 

Havent been catching anything really the other day though i caught my first 2 jig fish!

1/2 Jig + Rage Tail Craw

3/32  Buckeye Lures Flick-It Jig head + 4.5 Jackall Worm

I fished some seriously hard conditions last week and got three bass. One was just under five pounds. Spinner baits around pads and sticks and a toad worked for me. 

All the jigs were off in a big way.

There's been a lot of hard conditions right now, a lot of cold fronts and bluebird sky days, high winds, etc. I've been working a wacky rigged Senko pretty hard and it's been performing well for me; mostly small <=2 lbs. with plenty of tiny ones but at least I'm catching fish.

Killing it on poppers in the mornings

Here in Cal, its starting to get cooler so the shad are showing themselves, so for me its Crankbaits, jerk baits and spinner baits..
