Fishing Scenario: how would you fish this?

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Fishing Scenario: how would you fish this?

Post by OBD »

Here it is. The perfect back bay hidden behind an island in July. Bottom is soft and filled with hydrilla. Lily pads are present with the odd stump here and there. The weather is stable, the sun is out and it is about 11am. How would you approach and fish this scenario?

I would cast a 6" white worm TEXAS RIGGED into the mess and reel it back slowly(inticingly) tolure those HOGS out and WHAMMO.
As the fish say

This is the best game ever!

I would first hit it with a small white/bone color pop-r in all the open areas... working fairly slowly, big pauses.

Then go to a weedless soft-plastic, flipp'n it into the thicker pads and slop...

I'd slowly introduce chopped boilies or bread balls over a few days or weeks. Get those carp feeding and coming back. Then I'd realize I only own bass gear and don't even fish for carp and start zinging it hard with toads and following up by plunking with t-rigged plastics or flipping jigs.

I'd toss either a Spro Bronzeye or a Rivers2Sea Bull Croker. If I had any intrest I'd follow up with a TitleSHot jig and a beaver style bait. For some reason, this area doesn't appeal to me, don't know why. I'd still have to fish it to eliminate it.

I actually like hookup's area better....with or without the magically suspending shack :wink:
Again I'd toss a frog. But with the deeper open water under the pads......I'm thinking big wacky rigged senko style bait. Big sucker....6-7in. long. After that I switch to a flipping jig & chunk.
