What's your favorite deep water tactic?

Summer is close. This is one of my weak points. What is your favorite deep water lure? How do you fish it?

crig big tornados

Drop shot.

Football Jigs.

Big crankbait, C-rig, Fb jig

I suck at the Summer fishing

Swimbait

5 inch Senko and a lot of patience.

My favorite is the one that's working on a given day or more like a given hour.

Big crankbait, Football jig, Skaky head, C-rig, T-rig, Drop shot, Swimbait, Spoon and a Topwater bait are in the rotation and most get called on at some point during the day.

Sounds just like the deck of my boat during the summer. Well, all but the shakey head

this pretty much covers it

Drop shotting so much fun!

Heat of the summer...tx rig 1oz weight and 10inch worm, or 1.5 oz spinnerbait.

Big crank

C-rig, big crankbait(6 or 10xd), drop shot

Big Cranks

spoon, drop shot

DD Crank, c-rig, football jig. Also like a 6-7" Basstrix on a 3/4 -1 1/4oz. jig head. I used to throw a flutter spoon a bunch but these days it's hard to keep the sand bass off of it.

I typically fish offshore humps, points, rockpiles, and brushpiles.

Strike King 6XD

My number one go-to for deep water is the 6XD. It's a great search tool to find those fish that are bunched up offshore. They get down quick and they stay down. They have quality components and it's just a proven winner.

Santone M Series Football Jig

When the sun gets high and the fishing slows, I slow down with a football jig. It's great for crawling over rocks and imitates a crawfish really well. This is the best football jig on the market if you ask me, and they're made right here in Texas!

C-rig, DD crank baits, flutter spoon, big worm, drop- shot, big shakey head and swim bait all work great but my favorite is when they are chomping a Santone Football Jig. Fouz is right though on the flutter spoon and the sand bass but sometimes you can weed through the sand bass and catch a toad or 2.

What is your favorite weight for football jigs?

3/4 oz. for me

This ^^^^plus an A-rig

Big worm on standup shakeyhead if they are not active. Big crankbait if they are.

I just stay shallow.

I know where you can get some really cool deep diving crankbaits.

I always have a C-rig ready to throw, summer or not.

I love throwing a football in the summertime, strollin with deep cranks is always fun, and usually productive.

Deep swimbaits is awesome as well, not as many bites, but typically better bites/better fish.

I'm not afraid to sneak in shallow and toss a T-rig, but have been fortunate enough to fish with some guys who are strong deep water fishermen, and I've been trying to fine tune those tactics.

This is what I throw, too. They ALL come into play at some point or another. GREAT WAY TO FISH. I DO LOVE the big CBs, though. Hope this helps. Tight lines, keep safe and good luck.

Thad Rains

All those are really good, I also like a big shakey head on a 3/4 oz weight. It's worked pretty great the last 2 summers.

I think everyone has just about covered it

(For early summer) Swim Bait, Little George, Spoon, Jig, Hair Jig. (For the dog days of summer) Drop shot and shaky head, and sometimes a 3/8 ball head with a wacky rigged senko.

Also, aside from my drop shot, a BIG Pony head under spin with a swim fluke on it.

Its all about bass jigs. That's what the big girls like

+1 if I can't catching in the morning on topwater then I done. I can't fish deep, I just keep trying.

Norman DD22 all day... Gets tiring, but you find the right area and you can fill a boat quick!

Carolina rig

Deadsticking 7" Senkos

Black and Blue baby!
