Zone 4 – July
Pro angler Scott Suggs shares his July game plan for Zone 4 bass.
In July in Zone 4, Scott Suggs expects the water temperature to be in the mid to upper 80's. He always targets brush piles in the 19-24 foot range, especially around the thermocline. Scott expects bass to be opportunity feeders, and will eat crawfish, bream, or shad.
In July, Scott will throw a Wake Shad over the tops of brush piles to call bass to the surface.
If the water is clear, stained or muddy, Suggs prefers Hornet Blue.
Scott will throw a texas rigged Zeus Worm with a 3/8 oz weight into brush piles when bass are more lethargic.
He throws Redbug in clear water and Junebug in stained water. For muddy water, he chooses Black/Blue.
When bass are being stubborn, Scott will rely on a Filler worm on a drop shot to get bites in July.
In clear or stained water, Suggs prefers Morning Dawn. In muddy or low-vis, Red Bug is his go-to.
