Tyson Reports:
The bass bite continues to be great, the bigger females have moved in.
Bass are coming to the
bank to spawn, with several already locked on bed. They can be difficult
to see, but I assure you
they are there.
The jig bite continues to be great, flipping around weeds and wood seem
to produce well, 3/8 to
1/2 ounce
Ultimate Lunker Lure
jigs in Black and Blue and Texas Craw tipped with a black
chunk trailer and green pumpkin seems to produce best. Concentrate in
shallow water ranging
from 0 - 4 foot deep.
Spinnerbaits are also producing bass, or maybe it is just the new color
HawgCaller
has put together, its been one of the hottest colors for 2008. HawgCaller
has started producing
Sexy
Shad Spinnerbaits
in just about any blade combination or weight you want. They are not in
stores yet, but if you e-mail Jack at LureStaff@5starind.com
he
can get you an order together
and ship it directly to you. I would get-em quick while supplies last!
I have already been catching bass on these baits, I have been throwing
double willow in 3/8
ounce around the weed beds. The bass are aggressively attacking these
spinnerbaits on a
medium to medium fast retrieve.
I also caught a few bass on
Lunker Lures
flat shad buzz bait. This buzzer truly has a unique
sound that no other buzzer on the market has. The body is made of a
plastic material that lets it
get to the surface fast and also allows for a slow retrieve.
The last technique that I used on this fantastic day was a 1/4 ounce Pro
Series Tournament Frog
in Black with Blue Diamonds, Color #6691 . This frog is in a class of
its own. It has premium
Owner hooks and internal glass rattles. You can order this frog directly
from
SNAGPROOF
I was throwing it in the nastiest slime on the lake and hooking the
bass with ease thanks to the
perfect angle of these hooks. Some anglers may not know that you can
catch bass off beds with
a frog, I caught a 4 pounder off bed today with this presentation!
