The Bass Are Biting

Shallow docks, wave breaks with wind, first dock behind wave breaks and open water around the last shallow dock in a cove.

Today the fish seemed pretty predictable. With the overcast sky’s and slight wind, there were many patterns to produce fish. The biggest fish are getting shallow in the very backs of coves with bait fish, the large gizzard shad in the backs of coves produce the biggest bass. Today, the majority of my fish came in 3′-8′ of water in the backs of coves around the last couple of docks in the cove. Skipping/flipping a 1/2 oz Crock-o-Gator (COG) Jig in brown/purple with a COG Ring Tail Trail worked very slowly under docks worked great today, however, I had two big fish, 4+ break off on me around the docks in particular in the front of docks right off of the dock brace. A black plastic zoom trick worm pegged to a 3/8 oz weight skipped under shallow swim docks produced the best big bite, the KVD Sexy Dawg produced two keepers, one shallow in the flats just beyond the last shallow dock in a cove and along wave breaks with wind produced keepers and some very good top water blow-ups. The DT-16 crank bait also produced bites and some small fish run over brush piles.
