To follow up the seminar that we just had at Lake pro tackle I went out and fished the exact area we broke down in the seminar. I only had about 2 hours of daylight left so I initially worked my way into the pocket with a shallow crank but had no action on it. As I got into the pocket I immediately targeted areas providing cover with a shakey head. dragging with slow hops triggered the first bite. Then I moved to a vegetation line and got a 2nd bite. A hard area bottom that looked like smaller rocks/pebbles on mega360 held the 3rd bite and a brush/structure pile provided the 4th and biggest bite in the area. Utilizing knowledge gained from the seminar, we converted that into 4 keepers within about 45 minutes. So while there are always resident fish in various areas of the lake, these fish were all caught in less than 5' of water following a predictable and repeatable fall pattern. The 6th sense swing shaker allows the action of a traditional shakey head while also allowing for improved movement through and around cover because of the swinging head. Pair with your preferred and buoyant shakey worm for best results.

In the area above Interstate 30, standing timber is the most abundant structure and cover. Hydrilla is found in certain areas and attracts hybrid striped bass.
