Summer Lures
#1
Rapala Skitter Pop
Color: Bone · Size: 3.5 inch
Cast near shallow structure and weed edges; work with sharp pops and pauses to trigger aggressive pre-dawn strikes. Full moon + pre-dawn window = peak topwater bite.
Pre-dawn topwater on full moon is prime for aggressive surface feeding; clear water and calm conditions favor visible topwater; 68°F is ideal for active presentations.
#2
Strike King KVD 1.5 Squarebill
Color: Chartreuse Sexy Shad · Size: 1.5 inch
Cast to shallow points and drop-offs; steady retrieve with occasional pauses. Target the transition zone as light increases post-dawn.
Squarebill excels in clear, shallow summer lakes; chartreuse pops in low-light pre-dawn conditions; steady pressure and full moon favor reaction baits over finesse.
#3
Zoom Brush Hog
Color: Watermelon Red · Size: 4.75 inch
Pitch to any visible cover (docks, grass, fallen timber) with a 3/8 oz bullet sinker; work slowly with subtle hops. As sun rises and fish move deeper, this covers the mid-depth zone.
Clear water + medium pressure demands finesse soft plastic; Texas rig is versatile for cover; watermelon is natural in clear summer lakes; provides backup option as topwater window closes.
