>>2020998Also I have learned to work with soft plastics and going slow a lot since living here. The water is so warm most of the year that the bass get lazy. When I was in IL, I would do spinners and cranks all the time, but those only really work for LMB in Jan-Feb or when a storm is coming in and the pressure is changing. Texas rigged soft plastics, like 1/4oz bullet weight with a 2/0 or 3/0 EWG worm hook, and a baby brush hog or 6” lizard or finesse worm, bounce it slowly along the bottom. Some of the darker colors like junebug do good if it’s a little muddy or murky, natural colors if it’s clear, and for some reason the lakes with that brown stain but decent visibility, chartruese works well.
The snakeheads seem to hit inline spinners a lot. That blade on a Mepps Agila #2 or #3 gets their attention. Find some underwater grass and get a medium speed return with the spinner over the top and they will jump up from the grass and grab it.
Then there’s the Mayans and all the cichlids that have displaced other panfish, real fun to catch on lighter tackle, they will hit all the same shit a bluegill or crappie would go after. Pic related is on a 1/8oz underspin with one of those Gulp curly tail minnows.
