Best Summer Lures?

[Brandon McC]

Im down in Ga and I fish a local lake thats not pressured much. The lake used to be an old corn field. Its full of rocks on the bottom, black weeds, and old fences. Ive only caught a few on different things but they are hard to catch. Caught a 6-7lb bass by the dam on a white spinnerbait. The bass are eating bream all day long. There is a lunker under a dock I fish by and it waits for someone to catch a bream and it demolishes it as quick as they throw it back in. Ive been fishing yum dingers and t-rigs and no luck. Im a bank fisher and my options are limited. There isnt much cover by the little docks and by the dam obviously its deep. I was curious to what colors might help me bring em in. The water is dark green, stained & not much visibility. On the other side of the dam is a shallow lake maybe 5-7ft tops all the way through it. Full of hydrilla and weeds. Its sometimes clear and sometimes dingy. I bought a pack of yum dingers in bream color,watermelon candy,walermelon pie, and cajun neon. Maybe one of those will help me.

Dock? Pitch a jig w/ a craw or creature trailer. The big guy will never be able to resist that one. Sometimes they just laugh at senkos but demolish the bigger baits.

As far as the weed portion, I'd work a frog of your choice slowly over the slop. Soft plastics you have yum, zoom toads, ribbit frogs, etc and for hollow body I like koppers, spro frog, river2sea bully wa. Depends if they want a faster moving or slower moving bait. The plastics will give you a lot of kick but they don't float very well. The hollow bodies look more realistic and can be worked much slower. Good luck.

If you've seen the bass eat bream, catch a bream and put a 5/0 hook through its nose and fish with it.

As far as artificail bait goes, I would try a swimbait.

@Bass_Fanatic - you beat me to that comment!!

thats my first thing to do is catch a bream and fish with it right by the dock

SPINNERBAIT... sorry was that yelling...lol, spinnerbait and jig would be my go to, also a swim jig with a paddle tail trailer skipped underneath the docks would get thrown in, I personally would save the dingers for a last ditch effort, but I can't stand fishing stick baits, that's just me though

i like wacky worms in the summer, i also do pretty well with rattle traps throughout the summer. i like to use a bullet weight with a 7.5 inch worm too. i suggest scraping your weight before you use it so light reflects off of it.

I would say get the Lateral Perch and skip it under there along with a bluegill colored jig or swim jig and maybe a swimbait or the new Big bite baits Warmouth that you rig like a worm even though it has a panfish profile. If those fail try everything you know. Even if you dont catch him you'll learn some valuable lessons
