I got out on Cedar Creek Lake on Monday and Wednesday of this week. On Monday, I fished mid lake. Wednesday, I was on the lower lake. And just as it has been lately, the lower lake was better. I didn’t get any really big fish this week, but caught quite a few bass. I caught 11 bass Monday, and 25 bass Wednesday. Wednesday has to be one of the best bass fishing days I’ve had in the heat of the summer on Cedar Creek. I suspect that has a lot to do with the baits I’m using. That hover jig paired with Ned rig plastics just draws a lot of bites. My best bait on Wednesday was a new “kind of” tube bait I was trying out. It’s a Z-Man TRD TubeZ. It just looks like a regular 2 3/4 inch finesse bass tube bait, but it isn’t really a true tube bait, because the front half inch or so of it is solid, rather than hollow like a regular tube bait. Because of that, you can’t use a regular tube bait jig in it. They intend for you to use a Ned jig head, but I love the hover jig with this bait. I’ll post about the TubeZ again, since it has inspired me to try more finesse bass tube baits, and I want to post some thoughts on them after I try out some.

Monday’s best bass, a 3.22 pounder.

Wednesday’s biggest bass, at 3.60 pounds.
