Is anyone still using this thread? Big Sam is thriving, just had a 13.06 caught in 10' of water on a watermelon red J-Bug Carolina Rigged. Had some good luck in Veach Basin a couple weeks ago caught numerous 2 lbers and few in 3-4 lb range. Caught a 6 lb 5 oz on a magnum trick worm green pumpkin color fished wacky style over grass 7' water. I'm working right now but will be fishing the Big Bass Splash on the 20th and 21st. Best bet will be drains and ditches leading to spawning areas, there should still be some post spawn fish in these areas by that time. Be safe and God Bless!
