[cool][#0000ff]If you are going to practice safe casting, it is better with ribbed plastic, for sure.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]You can catch yellows this time of year in Saguaro, but they are usually deep...like 50 feet or so...where the shad schools hang out in cold water. Rarely will anything more than an occasional 4 incher come into the cove, which maxes out at about 25 feet.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Those slider grubs work great on most of the lakes in Arizona. Get the smoke sparkle and anything with blue in it. Think small shad and you can catch crappies, white bass, yellow bass, largies and cats with them. Had extremely good luck with those in the mid summer, when the new shad hatchlings school on the surface. Even big bluegill chase them. Use a light head and retrieve them just under the surface.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Oh yeah, be sure to pick up some whites too. I use those with the white head and red eye almost all year.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I have been all over Saguaro in a boat. Most of the coves have good schools of yellow bass in the spring. They move in to spawn along the rocky edges, and you can get them in fairly shallow water.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]In late summer, take a boat clear up to the head of the lake, where the cooler water comes out of Canyon Lake. There is more oxygen and some current. A lot of the fish leave the lower end of the lake during the calm hot summer months. Except cats. That's when you get some bigguns at night, on small bluegills.[/#0000ff]
