Crankbait and C-rig will get the bigger fish. Topwater for smaller fish.
Old pond dams and road beds.

H&H spinnerbait. But the story on the podium will be different!

White/red headed Hot Spot and a purple/white tail creme worm.

You young bucks may have to ask an older guy or google what a hot spot is. I’ll give you a clue....
It was made by Cotton Cordell

Old school rattle trap, used to throw them before I switch to the trap.


Jig will win, not sure on the color

a lot is gonna depend on how long they get to fish each day, I am about an hr. due east of the lake.

Carolina Rig or Chatterbait or Swim bait

After seeing next week's rain forecast, I'm going to change my answer to frog and jig.

I think a spook type bait early and then my money is on a brush hog....

I’m going on a limb and saying a swim jig

Ding Ding Ding we have a winner

flooded cover

A bobber with a live shad..?? Oh wait...how about something with a big hook and a top secret ultra scented, flapping,spinning thingy with a rectangle lead head....???

Has no one mentioned Chartreuse Pepper Ring Fry on C-Rig ?

I was out at Ray Bob yesterday afternoon and caught of few fish on spike-it dipped worms on some offshore structure.

Did not have any luck shallow in the flooded grass and brush but only fished mid-afternoon.

Yes, and all those easy buffet meal newly spawned shad and sunfish should still be in the shallows.

My initial instinct was a relatively bigger swimbait like the Gantarel Jr to catch larger bass shallow to separate from the field, but with all the rain this week, just not sure the water clarity will be there to do so effectively.
