I'm not much of a bass guy so my advice may be second rate. I see lots of big bass in Murray that I can't catch. Pretty much the only consistant bite for me is small fish on the drop shot. I've tried about every thing I can think of buy the d-shot just works best. Mike

Drop shot on a Senko. I have good luck on pumpkin 4" Senkos.

Flipping a senko in the tules is one option but that is tougher from a yak, the other is to fish a little deeper water off the points as fish will hold there as well. Depending on where the fish are staging, either a jerk bait, Texas Rig or Drop Shot. For color, I typically use Margarita Mutilator or MM 3 from Roboworm, though my larger two fish (11 and 13) out of Murray have come from Morning Dawn, 8" both Drop Shot in 12 - 16 feet of water post spawn.

Ive never used shiners there. I'm sure they'd get bit well. Under a slip float, fly lined, it d-shotted.

+1 for downsizing your baits.
I have used 10" worms in the past, but never seemed to catch anything. I received a good piece of advice for plastics, which I still follow today. Keep downsizing and slow your retrieve down....until they finally bite it. I fish 10lb or 8lb green Izor line, with 2-3" Reapers, up to 5" Flukes and Senko's on an 18" leader, tied with a high quality, small bearing swivel which adds just enough weight to help the bait slowly sink. Seems to work great. Good luck! |
