Doodle-Socking!!!!!!!

Lake level is still falling and it's aout284.69 water temp at 86 deg and the bass are still fairly shallow you can catch big fish from 4 to 12 feet of water this time of year is when the heat is on and the big girls are tight to the brush where they find cooler water or protection and ambush points,Flipping or pitching are what is happening this time of year or like the old timers use to call it when I was growing up fishing here at Falcon it was called Doodle-Socking seldom do you ever cast more then five feet and never throw in open water and you must fish in the middle of the brush pile or tree and you let your bait drop to bottom and let lay then pick it up and shake it once or twice Doodle the jig or brush hog or big worm and Sockit to them and pull the big haws out of the middle of the brush,I might add that there is an art to dragging a six pounder or bigger out of the brush the secret is heavy line and extra heavy rod up to eight feet I like the seven and a half with a seven to one ratio spooled with 80 pound braid.

Summer is hot and July and august are windy months but there are days that the fish go nuts and you don't the mind the heat and if you want to fish and enjoy one on one battle with a monster bass come see me and we will go on the hunt and do some Doodling!!!!!
