Fished with good friends SuperDuck, Ruben and Skeeter Steve :) This was the best day of fishing that I have seen in about a month. We started at the flats and we caught fish 2 ½ hours. Big whites bass, small hybrids and 1 keeper hybrid,,, We mainly fished top waters and when they would go down we fished slabs and CO-HO’s. It is time for the swim bait !!! I would use the smaller profile CO-HO’s right now over the bigger shanghais and sassy shad, but if you find them in deep water use the heavier sassy shad to get the bait down. The top water bite also the last 2 days has not been a fast retrieve , but better with a pop, pop then stop... they would knock that thing out of the water on the stop …. The swim bait retrieve needs to be steady but not real fast also. After that hot action stopped Matt called and we picked him up, caught some more fish deeper water. We caught a lot of fish, the most in a boat that I have been in in a least a month, very few small whites but quite a few under hybrids, they are still fun on top :D We fished from 7:00am till 11:am … all fish caught on various BIG top waters , CO-HO’s and slabs From Moe’s , everybody was using a different one and I could not tell you which one did better except they will be on the way later this years :thumb: Water depth was once again 5ft to 26ft and water temps are an unbelievable 81-83 degrees, which I think has these fish going. On a side note, not much boat traffic, Fridays were as bad as Saturdays there for a while but with the start of school, killing little birds and everything it has calmed down. I will not be on the water AT ALL this holiday weekend so you guys have fun.
