Proverbs: 20-22 - My son attend to my words incline thine ear unto my sayings . Let them not depart from thine eyes: keep them in the midst of thy heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.

Well as hard to believe as it is the Bass fishing is really as hot as the weather. Topwater bites will produce early with shad patterned baits such as buzzbaits and poppers, and tiny torpedoes in blue back chromes.

Bass are really chasing shad and feeding on them with schools scattered across the Lake. Main Lake is producing Bass up to over 5 lbs. in 4 - 6 feet of water on chatterbaits in shad patterns. Just chunk and wind and when you find those smaller schools busting shad slow down and work a little deeper in the same areas.

Plastics are hot also especially right now after the heat gets really hot. Worms in your watermelon colors on a drop shot rig, Texas rig, and Texas rig are catching some really good Bass.

Water temps are running about 85-89 degrees and the Lake is as low or lower than I have ever seen this Lake. The North end is all most impossible to get in except for those who know how to navigate their way in to the sweet spots.

I have really been blessed by the Lord to take a 2nd and 4th place finish on Cedar Creek tournaments in July and August 5th on Sam Rayburn The Lord Jesus blessed me with my first 1st pace finish on Sam Rayburn last week with a 21.09 lb. stringer and 6.86 Big Bass win also. I had 2 dead fish which deducted 1 lb. penalty or I would have had 22.09.

Sponsors that made these tournaments possible are diffinately : Jeff Friend with Friendy custom rods out of Neches, Texas.
His rods made all the difference and Phantom Tackle who makes a worm made in pure garlic oil instead of artificial garlic chemical scents that are used in the others. You can find and order from them by pulling their names up on google search .
