--Summer is just around the corner and with it comes typical summer patterns. The bass and crappie have wrapped up their spawning ritual and the bream are now on the bank doing their thing. I’ll be out over the brush tops chasing crappie for the next few months, but I’ll still be bass fishing every chance I get. The bass pretty much gotten over the post spawn blues and have started chasing shad both deep and shallow and targeting bream up around shoreline cover. Starting close to shore, topwaters are working well. Yellow Magics and Baby Chug bugs are getting some attention early and late around the patches of green pencil grass on main lake points. Toads and Buzzbaits will draw them up in the same areas. In the mid depth range, 8-15 feet, Try Carolina rigs and Crank Baits. On the C-Rig, Lizards, Trick Worms and Creature baits are working well. For the Crankers, use Shad patterns and target the sweet zone out near the old inside hydrilla line. Moving out deeper, there are a lot of baitfish holding on brushpiles and natural cover on ridges and humps n 18-30 feet. Find the bait, find the fish. Dropshots, Carolina rigs and Football Jigs will all work well out in the deeper stuff. The crappie are really ganged up on brush and biting like crazy. When the wind will allow, we have been catching up to and over 100 keepers per trip. My calendar is filling fast for prime time crappie, now – mid July. If you would like to book a trip, or just a talk fishing, give me a call at 409-FRY-FISH, Set the hook hard.
