Me and a few buddies are planning on going down to Amistad July 4-8 and I was wanting to start stocking up on lures. Its my first time going down there and have been trying to figure out what to throw and how deep. I wanted to ask some of you guys who fish regularly what you'd recommend for the hot summer months.

Thanks in advance.

Watermelon red in whatever lures last time i was there it was senkos an baby brushogs with the tails dyed chartreuse.

bubble gum 20" worms on a 1/0 hook in 80ft of water... jk there are no fish left in the lake... pm sent

IF you can find grass el grande flukes in tilapia. crank deep mainlake points. zara spooks in bone early and late. spinnerbaits slow rolled deep as well.

Motoroil red,green pumpkin red or purple,watermelon red,zoom lizard,baby bushhog,trick worm.

Don't forget the carolina rigged crankbait either!



I am headed down there Sunday and will give my report on what doesn't work.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'm going to try and pick some of these up this week.

By July I imagine the best patterns will be deeper, 15 foot and deeper. Like already said, cranks, c-rigs, football jigs, etc. will all probably work.

wm red in all you can get it in. crankbaits and stick baits early then fb jigs, fb jigs, then follow those with fb jigs.
or skip the others early and go with fb jigs. target rocky points and drops which tend to be easy to find there. best of luck

Watermelon red or gold Senko/Yum Dingers and lots of Hags Tornadoes F5 & F6.5

bone colored topwaters with feather dressed rear hook.

Topwater/Swimbaits early then deep ledge with an Xcite Ubershad or Mag Fluke.

alabama rig!

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. Got a lot of stuff ordered. Looking forward to going down there.

that ubershad is working pretty good on a c-rig in 20-30 ft
