It's time for #2 Mepps on Cedar Creek

The smaller shad are in the lake now and white bass are on them. So, I have had to switch from a #4 to a #2 Mepps. A #4 may get an occasional bite, but a #2 will get a fish every cast if you are on fish. When using a #2 I put a 3/16 oz mash-on weight about 16 inches up the line to add enough weight to cast and to get it to sink faster. I've been catching double limits this way in 2 to 3 hours over the past 10 days. Look for continuous, so;id reflections just off the bottom in 14 to 18 fow around the edges of humps, points or drop-offs. I found then at Saint Annes Point East, Swing-set Hump, Flagpole Point, Key Ranch Drop=off, Merimac Point and the south edge of Spillway Hump.

i was raised on a #2 Mepps...squirrel tail...silver blade...didn't know there was another spinner bait...i've used #5's and caught some really nice bass...gr8 lure

Also, presentation for a #2 is different than for a #4. For a #2 I leave a little slack in the line and sort of jump start it each drag while raising the rod up or dragging the rod to the side. I don't point the rod at the line like I do for a #4.

Very good info, DC. Thanks! I do a #2 everyday

Match the hatch. Was on Lavon Saturday when they started busting top water. I could barely see the little shad they were chasing.

Was out today and found whites down on structures: Long Ridge, Iron Wall Hump, Spillway Hump, The Rock Pile, The Tennis Courts and Sunken Island. In depths from 14 fow to 21 fow.

Thanks for the update. Great tip on lure size selection.
