Where I would fish and why. Glaize one day and just before Tan Tara to Hurricane Deck area second day. I would fish the Glaize because I am most familiar with it and there are lots of released big keepers from tournaments out of PB2, I would fish Tan Tara to Hurricane deck bridge because that is my second most familiar area and the water should be getting warm. |

Where I would Fish: Glaize one day and just before Tan Tara to Hurricane Deck area second day. I would fish the Glaize because I am most familiar with it and there are lots of released big keepers from tournaments out of PB2, I would fish Tan Tara to Hurricane deck bridge because that is my second most familiar area and the water should be getting warm. How Would I Fish Those Areas: 24mm – Hurricane Deck Bridge What Baits and Approach: I would have tied on a Crock-o-Gator Muskrat Creature Bait on a Crock-o-Gator Gator Lock Jig Head. I would use a green pumpkin in clear water and Black n Blue n dirtier water. I would use that bait to skip under and behind the docks. If you are not good at dock skipping baits, then fish a spinner bait along side those docks and behind the docks, even throw a spinner bait behind the docks. I would also fish the mixed rock banks in that area with the spinner bait and rock crawler on open banks leading to the spawning pockets as well as secondary points with wind, with the stick bait, jig, A-Rig and spinner bait. One of the things I have learned about the spinner bait, when you throw it to the bank start reeling slowly,, but as the depth of the bank changes, let the spinner fall closer to the bottom, especially on cloudy days this time f the year, the fish are closer to the bottom, let the spinner tick off the rocks on the bottom and/or around or over the top of brush. If I would be fishing lower end, I would throw stick bait and A-rig or flip docks. If I were fishing the river area I would target backs of coves and throw spinner or creature baits on wood and shallow banks. Toll Bridge to Shawnee Bend area, A-Rig, Stick Bait, spinner bait, rock crawler jig or flipping docks in the backs of coves. See pics for baits, keep in mind that colors will vary based on water clarity. |
