writes "Fishing Report The fishing was a little slower today for some reason. It may be that the east winds showed back up but I am not sure. Wacky worms in sourgrape continue to be pretty steady. You can fish most any cove right now and catch fish going down the bank with a wacky worm, there does not even have to be any grass in the cove at all. You will catch a lot of short fish but you can still catch a limit pretty easy if you stick with it. Grass and wood seems to help increase your chances for bigger fish but like I said, you can still catch some nice fish in slick bottom coves. Dont be afraid to cast to the bank and throw back in areas that is to shallow for the boat. We also caught some keepers today on a horny toad and Stanley wedgetail shad.
The wedgetail shad is definately worth picking up and trying if you have not already. Also rig it with the 4/0 mustad hook that has the nose insert and weight on the hook shank. This will allow you to throw it farther and make it run true. I have been waking the bait under the surface around pads, pepper grass and hydrilla. We also caught some fish on carolina rigs, LC CB MR (lucky craft crankbait) in ghostminnow, baby chugbug and spinnerbait. All of our fish came in 4ft or less even though we did fish a few deeper spots real quick. I do have some opening the last 2 weeks of this month if you would like to book a trip for bass or crappie (and/or both). Good luck and be safe.
