Truman Summer Time Patterns!

[mholder]

I love fishing Truman when it's up but now it's down to normal pool I am curious to here what kind of patterns everyone likes to run on Truman and lake area of the pattern. I personally like running ledge pockets and points with channel swings with jigs or big worms maybe even a C rig.

Saw a post on facebook by Doug Vahrenberg where he smacked them on a square bill this weekend.

You know, Truman is a lake that I never catch accidental bass on live shad. Weird. I know I'm no help, but I don't LM fish. I guess what I'm saying is that they aren't suspendend on offshore humps eating shad during the summer or I'd have caught one.

If I can't figure out a good shallow bite then I look for bigger trees with limbs (no pole timber) and swim a pegged T-rig worm through them.

Rod tip low, slow and steady reeling with no fancy rod tip stuff.... Sweep hard to the side when it gets heavy. Similar to the way you'd fish a crankbait, minus the twitches and pauses.

If it gets boring then you're either not doing it right or your throwing to the wrong type of trees.

Yes I saw DV's post on FB. I am pretty sure the square bill bite is on for a little while till the heat moves them out, also the same goes for LOZ right now. What did the storm system that passed on yesterday do to the lake is my concern???????

Mholder------ never bet on bass going deep in LOZin the summer. It is too cool under those docks. To them its like sitting in a Air Conditioned restaurant. The Hogs will usually go deep. But it is nothing for them to mosey up to the restaurant themselves when it is supper time. If your lucky enough to intercept a hog on the way to the restaurant your in for it.

Hey Wrench, what size weight you using to swim that worn thru the trees, is it light and subtle or heavy to get it down?
