Summer Lures
#1
Senko
Color: Green Pumpkin · Size: 5 inch
Rig through the middle and cast near shallow structure, allowing a natural falling action on semi-slack line with minimal twitches.
Morning bite with moderate cloud cover and 73°F water favors natural presentations; the Senko's subtle fall triggers reaction strikes from feeding bass.
#2
Rapala Original Floater
Color: Perch · Size: 3.5 inch
Twitch-twitch-pause cadence near the surface and around shallow cover; let it suspend momentarily between twitches to trigger strikes.
9 mph southerly wind creates ripple and pushes baitfish shallow; jerkbaits excel in morning conditions with partial cloud cover.
#3
Chatterbait
Color: Chartreuse Black · Size: 3/8 oz
Retrieve steadily along shallow structure and drop-offs with a slightly faster pace; use the wind to cover more water and maintain blade vibration.
Morning wind and moderate water temperature activate bass; the Chatterbait's vibration and flash cut through 35% cloud cover to trigger aggressive feeding.
