Phil and I had a guest join us known for his bass catching ability. As usual we were in the water at light enough to see and had zero action for the first hour. No top water bite, no soft plastics, nothing. OK we got to figure this out. Hit all the brush piles and started picking up a fish here and there. The air temp was nice and we never broke into a sweat until about 1 PM. Great weather and low humidity. Working hard until about 2 pm before the bite completely quit. I was able to stick a few nice ones today...........one pig! See the photo and bait responsible for my good fortune. Love this lake and the challenge of trying to figure it out. It is absolutely never the same. What worked last time does not work the next time. It is contrary to figure out. I hit a few on jigs, nothing on the z craw worm, and the big one on a z craw flash Texas rigged. Nothing on crank square bills, chatter baits, Carolina rigs. We ended up with 36 on the day between the three of us. I believe the fall will produce better numbers and larger fish. The bass are chasing the shad here and there and if you can site cast to them while chasing there is a decent chance you will get hooked up. The problem is it is over real quick so by the time you get to where their chasing your too late most of the time.
Hope all PWF members are doing well, if your like us, your looking forward to cooler temps and reel private fishing experiences to come.

My son and I are booked on Saturday the 3rd, so any advice would be helpful. Looking forward to getting back out on the water with him. It's been a long time.
Thanks,
Rob
