what works for summer bass

Featured Replies

I have been doing well with jigs, carolina rigs, tubes, and finesse worms catching most of the good fish in 8-15 foot of water.

I prefished a tournament today on a lake that was stained. I caught all my fish shallow on crankbaits, jig, and a spinnerbait. All of them where right tight to the shore on out to 5 ft off the bank. The main pattern was where two forms of cover or stucture meet. In this case where wood and rock met. I looked for places that had at least 4ft depth up against shore or places that had a drop near by. Clear water go deep or places where deep water and shallow water meet. I fished a tournament last month that was in clear water lake. What I did was I looked on the map and marked places where the deep water runs the closest to shore. I looked for coves or points that has deeper water on one side of it.

I'm mostly fishing the Fat Ika weightless in <12' of water, but I have had good luck recently with T-rigged tubes (Mizmo watermelon with black & red flakes) and T-rigged Kreatures in deeper water on and near structure.
