Summer Lures
#1
Senko
Color: Green Pumpkin · Size: 5 inch
Cast near shallow structure and vegetation, let it fall on semi-slack line with minimal movement to trigger reaction bites.

Chatterbait

Cast toward deeper drop-offs and rocky structure, retrieve with steady pace and occasional subtle twitches to mimic crawfish movement.

Twitch-twitch-pause along shallow weed edges and rocky banks, keeping the lure in strike zone with erratic jerks followed by 1–2 second pauses.
