Catching Spots

[rowyourboat]

im going to fish a lake this weekend with a population of 65% spots, 30% largemouth, and only 5% smallies. water temp is around 60 & slighty off colored/stained

so with that being said, what do you guys think is the best way to catch as many fish as i can. I've had a rough year so far, so I just want numbers. not too worried about size. but do spots perfer different lures/presentations than largemouths?

what have you guys had success with?

thanks for the help!

3/8 oz eakins jig, shaky head and a compact spinnerbait would be what I would have tied on.

Good luck

On days you want to slay fish, use what you're comfortable with. On days you're curious, try branching out your methods.

I fish for spot's quite a bit. They will pretty much eat anything a large mouth will. But say I was going to with my nephews and just wanted them to catch fish, my top 5 choices to put numbers in the boat would be... 1. dropshot w/roboworm 2. 3in tube rigged with a 3/16oz darthead 3. 1/8oz darthead with a roboworm 4.Deep little'N 5.a single tail grub or a hula grub on a 1/8-3/16oz darthead.

It is hard to go with just the 5 things I listed. For one they do not cover all of the water column but you should be able to put some fish in the boat.
