May 2008, Caddo Lake:

Water temp; NA

Caddo Lake:

Bandit Crankbaits Pro Staff member Russ McVey says, May on Caddo means two things, top water action and weightless soft plastic jerkbaits around shallow cover!

There will be several patterns working on Caddo. One of the best patterns will be fishing a 3/8 oz. Picasso white buzz-bait around the shallow cover early and late in the day. Flipping a 3/8 oz black-blue Southpaw Jig tipped with a black blue Wave Worm Tiki Craw or a Texas rigged watermelon Tiki Moko lizard rigged with a ¼ Tru-Tungsten weight around the Cypress Trees on the main lake will be a big bite producer. These new weights are the future of Texas rigged plastic. If the bass are suspended a weightless Texas rigged watermelon red or red shad Wave Worms six inch Shadick  will get there attention.

 If fishing the trees is not producing, it’s time to turn to the grass flats. Bandit Footloose crankbaits in Chrome Blue or pearl black back will catch the big ones. The crankbaits works well if the wind is blowing. Remember to look for the grass and pad mixtures when fishing this pattern.

If there is current in the bayous a white and black back or chartreuse blue back pattern100 series Bandit crankbaits fished around the mouths of the bayous will catch the quality bass.

Remember take a child fishing, the smiles are worth a million.
