Micro Finesse Swimbaits (Z-Man Shad FryZ) for Late August Bluegill (Channel Catfish Bonus)



In this 28 August 23 excursion to a public MDC pond in Cooper County, MO, the water level was low but the fish were biting. Although no large bass or crappie showed up, a goodly number of Bluegill were allured with a variety of colors on the Z-Man Micro Finesse Shad FryZ.
A Z-Man TRD HogZ Mod nicknamed the PigletZ also caught a nice 21 inch channel catfish and a Bear Paws Garden Worm caught another 20 inch cat.
The cooler weather was very nice considering the very hot stretch we experienced for most of the month.
Rudie Tootie – PTA (Papillon Trip Advisor) advised (correctly) that the fish were likely to be abiding off-shore in and near submerged trees in 10-15 feet of water.
Good Job, Rudie!
Sparky gets his normal dose of “Come Duel” besmirk.
Enjoy the show!

  1. Glad to be the 1st here Don. I absolutely love that shad fryz. All great catches. Oh and my round float tube just isn't as comfy as I'd like so I'll be making another investment for one like yours.
