July has been hot, raining and lots of thunderstorms. That being said, fishing also has been hot. This month we have put over 10 fish over 8 pounds in the boat. Some shiner fishing but alot of them were fooled on artificials too. Senkos, dropshot and deep crankbaits are working for me now. Shad are on top early and the schoolers are attacking them before the sun gets high up. Top water baits like pop r and chug bug worked slowly are taking the toll. Don’t forget that the small ones are on top and BIG girls are lurking under them waiting on easy pickins so try a rattle trap or medium running crank under the schools to fool a PIG. As the sun gets up we have been going deeper. Using the Lowrance HDS find schools bunched up. Look for streaks on the graph, this is fish attacking the bait, if they are static; try them and move on if they don’t bite. When the sun is hot and overhead, alot of times the bait is on top too, keep an eye out and have a topwater or trap ready to hurl at them. Come to Stickmarsh to catch the Bass of your life. You can’t catch one if you don’t go. Thanks Capt Mike
