Shadows provide cover for fish. Fallen timber, vegetation, and rocks provide cover for fish. When shadows cast over hard structures, you have a super structure. Super structures are fish magnets.
Today I had an opportunity to fish. But, I only had a 1 hour window. To maximize my time on the water, I fished a series of super structures. The water depth ranged from 2 feet to 10 feet, with varying vegetation and timber. Weedless soft plastics was the presentation of choice.
I got to my first spot at 6:00 AM. I started with a Stanely Jigs Bull Ribbit frog rigged with an Owner Beast hook. I had fish exploding every other cast. At 6:10 AM I caught a well fed 4 lb largemouth bass. This fish put a bend on my 8′ heavy/fast action rod!
At 6:15 AM, I switched over to a Gary Yamamoto senko with a weedless VMC hook. I got hits on every other cast. At 6:30 hooked a landed a pickerel terrorizing largemouth bass. This fish was fearless and full of vengeance!
The super structure pattern produces fish at any time of the day (TOY). I have had the most success at the light transitions (sunrises and sunsets). Time is fish! Fish smart!! Fish shadows and structures!!!
