What’s up with Hubbard Creek?

Just spent two and a half days punching grass and this was my biggest bass a 2.5 pounder. Some fish were only 12 inches hitting a half ounce jig. Are the tourney weights down too.

Y’all could be right. Didn’t know Seguar 20 lb flouro photographs like that. Fish probably freaked.

The Grass is still not deep enough yet. To get the Big Bass to move into the grass it will need to be 20 ft. tall. It may be 15 ft. by Sept.. Keep punching and keep looking for taller grass in areas that no one has found yet; like small pockets and some of the creek channel bends up the river. Saddles on the main lake have all been hammered.

I would be punching the heavy drop shot with 50 lb. braid.

There is already grass in 20 feet. I fished it Saturday.

Have 5 folks, 2 boats here the past 2 days. They've caught a total of 13 bass, biggest about 2lb.

The grass is coming up incredibly!! Deep, shallow.... Going to areas choked by end of summer.

Hate to state the obvious but a half oz . jig ain’t punching anything. Might try a real jig, 1 oz or 1.25. Heavy jig equals the fast fall your looking for to get the reaction bite you’re looking for. You can probably punch a half oz Texas rig/trailer but that half oz jig ain’t heavy enough, JMO. While you’re at it get you some 50-65lb braid. If braid ever had a perfect application that’s it. That whale rope mono will twist up on you by the end of the day and it doesn’t cut thru grass like braid. Again, JMO

Used to live on HC, coached at Breck - gods country. Best, hardest working kids I’ve ever been around.

Grass punching GOSPEL right here!

It’s a reaction bite. Not a jiggy finessie kinda thing. Get a 1 or 1-1/2oz Tungsten weight, a 4/0 Trokar Mag wide gap, and some big, streamlined black-n-blue plastics. Peg the weight on 65lb power pro and use a fast reel and a heavy rod. Flip it in, let it fall, and feel for a bite on the drop. If no bite, slowly lift (one time), and let it fall again. No bite, no fish was there. Move on down a couple feet and try it again.

Big fish don’t need deep. They want shade and forage. 1-2 ft of water under a mat is more than enough. They like the cooler water, shade, cover, and more oxygenated water

I think I took that picture. Pretty fish.

We had 3 boats that caught 14-15lb Saturday and plenty of fish. I caught 20 or so yesterday morning but size was down
