Lake is full, crappie are moving in, and this week will be EPIC!
Went out to CJ last night around 4pm to trial a V&M Wild Shad for a competitor.
Let me start by saying their is absolutely no excuse in modern times why this lake is so low...this is just another example of COE being idiots!
The V&M shad has possibilities in your arsenal....
The profile is amazing, other than a Keitech this is probably one of the softest feeling plastics around....the rings really make it soft and hold air which makes alot of bubbles in the water. It has a harder center core for durability.
When you burn this bait, the action is amazing...the bait wobbles from left to right, and the tail action is second to none...and that is what the swimbait excels at!
The downside is the weight...at a normal or slow retrieve the bait nose dives, with the tail up and doing nothing...there's even no action bouncing it off the bottom, or letting it sink!
But, if you need a durable, soft to the touch, big shad profile bait, to burn in the summer then give it a try!

Went out to Cajun Cliffs yesterday evening after fishing the STINKY Marina a couple times last week...and I found the big Ladies! I also found an old buddy of the CJ Wolf Pack, Roy Hayes (TXflatsfishing).
We headed to the Cliffs and talked, Laughed, and caught fish while catching up!
I think Roy ended up with 5 species during his day!
The Big Women were all about colors....except Red and Super Bright Chartreuse, they hit every other color readily...there were ZERO dinks caught...the smallest went 10.5 and they all had big bellies, so the women are still in deep water feeding, waiting for the nests to be readied!
The real fun started around 9pm...in 45 minutes I caught 10 fish Ohio's or better! The Real BIG Women were grubbing on white after it was pretty dark!
Fun Night...all the stinky water fish were released unharmed to drop eggs into the "stunted" lake! LMAO
Good Fishing To All!

Very well done to both of you !
Hit CJ the past 2 days again...fished flats!
Big Girls are moving in and feeding heavily...spawn will start at this Blood Full moon!
Channels are hitting fast moving swimbaits, same with WB, SM, LM, and Gators.
Had two 6 species nights in a row....didn't even bother trying any other colors...white 3" Easy Shiners caught fish on almost every cast both days! When I got bored I varied the retrieve and still caught fish.
I still have not caught anything smaller than a 10 inch Crappie...pretty good for a stunted lake! LMAO
