Fishing Report 5/4/24
The early bite has been great for me all week however as we get into the day it has slowed down tremendously. As the days progressed, we spent time looking for the deep bite finding big schools of fish was just not happening yet; you could come across small groups of 3 or 4 fish but I did not scan over any bigger schools.
We worked SPRO DD 70 crank baits on the deeper fish, and then stuck mainly with Tight-Line swim jigs, Missile Bait “48 stick baits” Duckett spinner baits and some big worms most of the time. I’m kind of surprised that the deep bite isn’t strong yet, but it should happen any day now!
Come fish with me I have days available the crappie bite is fair; the bass bite is great especially early in the day. We fish with great sponsor products, Ranger Boats, Cornfield Fishing Gear, Boat Logix mounts, Mercury Motors, Costa sunglasses, Toyota Trucks, Lowrance Electronics, Dawson Boat Center, Lew’s Fishing, Vicious Fishing, T&H marine and more.

Summertime Bass Fishing
The summer on any lake can be tedious and different for the bass fisherman, it’s a time of year when you have to be creative and work tirelessly to find feeding fish. Many times, color matters more than any time of year as you are dealing with mainly clear water and thick vegetation and navigating all the changes as the water warms is a challenge. The good news is bass are generally active in the summer but the time-of-day matters and if you miss the peak timing it can be tough.
During their active period which generally occurs early or late in the day top-water fishing is generally the best option; bass generally feed upward but early in the day this is always the case making baits like pop-r’s frogs, spooks and buzz baits good early day choices. There’s definitely no more fun than a bass exploding up on a top water bait, especially for a young person and it’s generally an easy bait to use.
Covering water is always a key ingredient to finding fish in the summer; your trolling motor can be a big piece of the puzzle to locating feeding fish, keep moving until you get some action and then slow to thoroughly cover the area. Use your eyes to look for activity, there is nothing more telling in the summer than bait being chased in an area, or schooling fish feeding in large groups. Schooling fish is always fun especially for young folks as its easy fishing and lots of activity. The good news is just about any moving bait is a good choice when you find an activity like schooling bass. Spinner baits, top-water baits, worms, rattle baits all will catch fish when they are chasing like that. Work the movement, look for the bait popping and keep throwing at the chasing and feeding bass until it ends and then go find more.
Lastly be on the water at first light, it’s always the best bite, the activity is strong they like the low light and cooler temperatures of the early part of the day; it is definitely easier on your body and more enjoyable than the heat of the summertime day.
