EARLY AND LATE FISH YOUR TOPWATER BAITS SUCH AS : POP-R’S ,BUZZ BAITS AND EVEN A SLUG-GO OVER THE TOP OF THE HYDRILLA. ONCE THE SUN IS UP OR ABOUT 7:30 TRY GOING TO THE OUTSIDE EDGE OF THE HYDRILLA. YOU WILL NEED A 1 OZ. OR EVEN AN 1 1/4 OZ. JIG TO PUNCH THROUGH THE THICKEST MATT . THE BEST COLORS WILL BE BLACK,BROWN, AND AMBER OR BLACK AND BLUE. STANLEY HAS A RATTLING JIG THAT WORKS GREAT RIGHT NOW. SOMETIMES THAT RATTLE MAKES ALL THE DIFFRENCE. THE OTHER OPTION IS TO FLIP A GENE LAREW HAWG CRAW ON THE EDGE OR JUST LOOK FOR THE HOLES IN THE GRASS. CLORS IN THE HAWG CRAW ARE: PLUM, PUMPKIN-PEPPERGREEN/CHART. CLAWS, OR PUMPKINGREEN. IF YOU ARE ON THE NORTH END OF THE LAKE AROUND THE BLACK FORREST TRY A BLACK /BLUE HAWG CRAW AND INSERT A GLASS RATTLE IN IT. THIS DOES MAKE A DIFFRENCE IF THE BITES ARE FAR AND FEW INBETWEEN.
IF YOU LIKE TO WORM FISH TRY THE 4″ RINGWORMS IN PLUM, CRABAPPLE AND CRANAPPLE. EVEN THE RED BLOOD LINE AND TEXAS SMOKE COLORS WILL WORK USE A LIGHT SINKER SOMETHING LIKE AN1/8 OZ. AND FISH SLOW.
