uh, try fishing the fingers if you have a boat, if there are stick-up try flippin a spinnerbait to them and let them helicopter down. bring spinnerbaits around thru them. if there are walls of cattails there are usually a section of dead ones in front of it, try topwaters and spinnerbaits there. try draggin c-rigs over humps or along-side the islands, fish the shady side of the islands. thats all for now

WILL JITTERBUGS WORK OR RAPALA SHALLOW CRANKS?

If you have a boat, I always love to flip bullrushes. Even this time of year, they seem to concentrate bass.

How big is the sucker, like 100 or 1000 acres? Fish coves, and if there are dams fish them.

get a senko....go down the bank or topwater early in the morning....fish areas next to deeper water early....find yourself a nice deep rip rap bank this time of the year....try some topwaters early in the mornings......

what kind of baitfish do you have?

What lake is that you are fishing? Weve been debating and have concluded its Texana. Fill us in a little. South of houston and in the houston area you cant beat a watermellon senko t-rigged weightless up against the brush or some purple tailed black 6.5 culprits. In those cattails I'd try a sluggo. Scum frogs,etc. Have fun with it though man.
