Fishing Report

[Hogfan]

Day time:

Fishing during the day seems to be about normal for this time of year. Fish are being caught on top early with buzzbaits, spooks, and redfins but once the sun comes up a lot of these fish are moving out deeper. I've been fishing from Hwy 12 bridge to Hickory Creek lately and most of my fish are coming on C-rigs with a baby brushhog and a Bass X football jig tipped with a twin tail grub. I'm putting the boat in 30'+ water and most of the fish are coming out of 20'-25'. If these bigger baits don't produce I'll pick up the shaky head worm and work these same areas. I'm really watching my graph right now too and when the fish pull off the bottom and suspend I'll pull out the drop shot and catch them that way. You seem to catch a bunch of 10"-13" KYs doing this but I'll take what I can get.

Night time:

Fishing at night continues to be a struggle for most. The fish will bite but it doesn't seem to be as easy as years past. I'm not sure if the high water is effecting this bite or not. I'v been catching most of my fish on a black and blue Bass X hair jig tipped with a #11 Uncle Josh pork frog. These fish have been coming right off the brush/tree line in 8'-12' of water. I would imagine the night bite should only get better as time goes on.
