Fish hate the sun and strong light for a few reasons and in this video I can prove it. The first one and I’m not totally on board with it is that the bass’ eye is not able to tolerate light very well and avoids it due to the fact that it actually strains the fish’s eye. The other reason and this is the boat I’m inis that low light especially in ultra clear water allows the fish to fully perform as a predator – hiding in shady areas and surprising forage like shad and bluegill from ambush points. Key baits for fishing the Lake Pickwick spillway was a finesse jig with a small creature bait on a 7’3″ MH fishing rod and 15lbs flourocarbon fishing line. Jig fishing on the bottom in current whether it’s a creek or a river is super productive – just look for places where the current is less or where there’s an eddie. Since fish hate the sun always remember to look for low light fishing opportunities – sunest, shade, cloudy days, docks – basically any kind of cover that provides a block for the sun.

If you love Bog make sure to LIKE this VID!
You are absolutely correct when you said that everyone needs a release during these insane times…especially those of us who can't get on the water as often.Keep on doing these great vids Mikey,and thank you!.
Mikey come fish CA! Let’s get some swimbait fish! I got the spots.
A skirtless chatter with a glow chartreuse 4.5" swimbait works well on pickwick…so I'm told…
Costa Tip of The Day – Broke the arm on my costa fathoms the other day and had been having the same issue as Mike with the rubber falling off. So I epoxied the arm but new it would be kinda ugly so I ended up putting shrink wrap over the arms and the look great. Plus chums hold on better too now!
Man are you around tn???
Fuckin legend!
Love the positivity you bring man. Thanks for bringing us some great content Mike. You the man brother👍
Hey Mike, just met your dad. Great guy! Really proud of you.
Hey Bog!
Great vid, total knowledge dump. Way to help the young bucks. You're a class act. So true when you said Florida is a bit different. Seems like they bite better on sunny days in f l a. Anywhere else, cloudy is the deal.
the amount of fish behind that dam, regardless of time of year, is absolutely dumb

Big ups to ya Mike for giving those boys the shout out. Much respect brother.🤜
Love these vids man, keep up the good work!!!!
Now that you stay in Alabama and you had a chance to catch small mouth bass, if you had to catch 1 species of bass which would it be. Large, smallie, spotted, or (peacock)
That lake is Incredible. Great job and yeah man the clouds can trigger bites big time.
getty old !!!! lol
Awesome I have learned a lot from watching your channel keep it up
Just love your attitude man, you make my day every time.
I am actually heading to Pickwick May 31-June 6. Club tournament week. Mon-thur are cash tournaments and Fri is for club points. Never been there and can't wait.
great video man I love catching smallies!!
Mikey, Mikey, Mikey……bro if you are old my ass is father time !!! Keep em coming youngster !
Hey Bog!!! He got a bunch of licks that trip. Curious as what weight head you were using on that jig. It looked like a pretty heavy one.
I got mixed thoughts on the sun and bass. I have read everything that Doug Hannon has to say about catching largemouth over 10+ and he said he caught a lot of largemouth over 10+ in the middle of the day while the sun was high. Great channel brother
Good video really good cause I seen you put boat in the water an my home lake. Good catches if you would have come here about a month ago the tanks was up there right where you was fishing.
My theory is that they don't like the sun in there eyes and they don't have eyelids. I think it hurts their vision.
Always learning something on your vids dude! Aaaaaand..you have a Bogg!! (lick fish)———~<"(((((>{
Awesome video!
