Next week-end

[Maverickpro201]

Looking at staying down near the 8 mile marker/ Gravois arm next week end. Just need to get out of here for a couple days. What have the bass been biting on lately? Or what would you be throwing for them? 

Thanks

this is just a wild guess but maybe a jerk bait or a jig??

Or that other contraption…

I would have 3 rods on deck to begin with.  

A skirted twin-tail grub on a 1/4oz. head and 10# flouro.

A suspending jerkbait on 10# flouro.

An A-rig.....or a 3.5-4" swimbait.

South facing chunky banks where schools of shad are present.  And/Or halfway back into medium sized coves.  Look for fish to be either right on the bottom structure, or suspended 1 to 2 boat lengths off the bank.....and holding 3-5' deeper than the schools of shad are. 

Never fish UNDER suspended fish, as they are way more likely to be looking up than down.

I would add a Rock Crawler or Wiggle Wart too. With this warmer weather those fish are gonna be more active. Especially with some wind...
