The wrong rod can break your heart when Grass fishing in the summer!

I was able to get out fishing today in my friend’s boat on man made lake. We found lots of baits and started out catching small bass. Then I tied on a KVD 6inch sexy spoon and the bass there fish were biting. Midday of a  bright sunny day in 10-25 feet of water. Biggest fish was 3.46lbs. 

Throwback to this giant wish we had a scale!

Caught 4 this weekend, but lost one at the boat when he jumped out and shook himself loose. Gotta love it. But still a good weekend at my home lake.... 5.01 lbs, 2.12 lbs, and 2.01 lbs. The 2.01 pounder I caught with a Gambler EZ-Swimmer plastic swimbait on an Owner 1/4oz swimbait hook with an underspinner. First successful catch on a swimbait! Usually I have a bad hookset. Everything else was on my "confidence bait"; 1/16th Gamakatsu Weedless Wacky Jig, and used Gambler Sweebo worms again this weekend. 

The 5 pounder I used more of those laydown techniques from the Laydowns workshop. Yeah, a wacky jig, even if its weedless is asking for a hang up in a laydown scenario, but they work pretty well for me to trigger a bite. I tend to use it as a search bait too lol. The 2.01 pounder, I swam that swimbait right next to a laydown and it got bit... I had Brian's voice in my head saying "something swims by and it ambushes it.."

The other 2 pounder was hiding in some shade next to some grass by some bridge rip rap. 

I’m filming the Sunday Q&A in about a hour or whenever I finish this Sunday nap. You can still submit a question here if you have one.

Welcome to all the new members that joined this month. I'd love for you to post where you're from and where you fish mostly here in the community section. This is a great place for us to communicate daily!

So I am pretty proud of myself being able to adjust on the fly now to conditions on the water. The lake I go to I usually go to the North end and have a lot of success using a chatter bait style bait sometimes Slobber Knocker or original chatter bait. This morning it just was not working; the water was more stained than usual, so I tried on a Chartese and white spinner bait caught a couple of 2 pounders, but I usually hammer them here on this weed flat. I was thinking I needed to slow it down a bit and eliminate the noise a bit as well. So, it was the quarter ounce weighted VMC under spin with a full-size White Rage Swimmer swim bait on it that got the job done I hammered them for about two hours, was amazing. Thanks to referring back to knowledge I gain watching BLat's videos, Thank you a ton.

Not fish related but anyone still use one of there😂?

All you need is your cell phone. Quiet place and preferably some ear buds if you have them. If not we'll just say "huh" until we understand what you're saying.

We'll send you a email tomorrow with the meeting link. If you can't be on the call no worries. Just let me know so we can bump up the next person in line!

Tomorrow I'd like to discuss How you can simplify summer fishing. Bring your questions about your home lake or a place you fish occasionally.
