Strike King pro Greg Hackney describes the best fishing spots in Zone 1 for the month of August.
“In 85 to 92 degree water temperature, find good cover close to deeper water relative to the body of water you’re fishing. If you’re able to, find cover close to current,” shares Hackney.
If the water is clear, Hackney prefers the Hack Attack Pad Perch White Shadow. In stained, muddy, or low-vis water, he switches to Black.
In clear water, Hackney prefers Green Pumpkin. For stained conditions, he switches to Watermelon Red Flake, and in muddy water, he goes with Plum.
He pairs each color with a matching drop shot trailer on the Filler Worm rig.
Hackney’s choice for clear water is the KVD 2.5 Sexy Shad, while he opts for Chartreuse Sexy Shad if the water is stained. In muddy water, he reaches for Cataouatche Special.
