Anyone have any tips for bass fishing east bay river this time of year? I usually put in at the 87 bridge just north of 399. Lately, I haven't been having any luck at all....earlier this year I was having a lot of success with my june bug trick worm but not now. I think I'm missing something....any tips would be appreciated!

natural looking cranks work good this time of year...

That place is hard to fish--one week its good the next it sucks. I heard going up river is best. Good luck.

I'm working on it!

Still not much luck sunday....although I did start getting some bites on a 3/8 oz white spinner. I caught a couple decent crappie and bass but then lost my spinner when I got hung on a tree.... There were alot of fish jumping out of the water when I was fishing up river, not sure what they were but they didn't bite anything I thru out. I could see them swim right up to my buzz bait then swim away....so frustrating!! Anyway, I think I will have to find somewhere else to spend my weekends. If anyone knows any good decent spots this time of year please let me know.

Thanks!!

Could have been anything in that place chasing your lure, who knows. I know there are loads of mullet up river, but they don't chase lures that I know of, they run instead. If you want some better Bass fishing, try Yellow River or Blackwater.
