Curious what’s working for everyone right now. 

 

For me, it’s been:

1. Paddletail Swimbait

2. Ned rigged Crawz

3. Crankbait

 

I’m in Kentucky and weather is just now getting into the 80’s. Haven’t done much topwater yet, but looking forward to that (frog and whopper plopper are my two favs). 

Black whopper plopper, ned rig, jig. I’m in Illinois and the plopper is getting bit.

Senko, fluke and a jig...

 

That will change soon, though. They’re starting to hit the frogs and toads a little harder so after the June full moon, it’ll probably be flukes, frogs and jigs. 

ned rig, spinner bait, and a spook have been my top producers my last few times out here in NY.

There's quite a list of what I'm throwing vs what's working!

 

The last couple of weeks it's hard to catch more the one in a row.

 

Ultravibe Speed Craw ?

Weightless Texas rig 5” Senko 

Weighless wacky rig 5” Senko

Weightless Texas rig yet-to-be-determined 45 year-old plastic worm

 

I had no strikes on a topwater frog, Jitterbug and a 4” floating Rapala, but haven’t fished them much. I’ve been getting so many strikes and catches on the Senkos that I haven’t put a lot of effort into using other lures. 

Senko

Killer Kraw

ScumFrog

1. Keitech Fat Impact.

 

2. LV500 lipless.

 

3. Yozuri pencil topwater.
