Largemouth BassTechniqueHard Topwater (Walking)SeasonFallStructurePointsTarget points with big boulders on them that create a sort of cove. They're pushing bait into those areas and schooling and feeding. When they're blowing up the sexy dawg got it done, when they're not the spinnerbait and the general got it done.

Caught keepers on rock and broken concrete throwing a Speed Trap in shallow water (1'-3') bouncing that crankbait off of the hard cover. they ate it pretty good. Had best bites in off color water. Lake is down but fishing well. Put a snap on your crank tie split ring as it will give it a little more freedom to do some crazy stuff when it bounces off of the cover causing a strike.

Fished the Bassmaster Open on Rayburn last week. Water temp 70-72 degree. Mainly punched and caught a decent bag on the first day. Used Reins Tungstern 1.5oz & Hayabusa FPP HD Straight shank hook with Geecrack Baobab hog. I like to split the tail. That was the deal!

No wind. Lake was slick as glass. High pressure. Bite was extremely tough. Caught most fish on the speed trap in stained water crashing it into concrete and rocks. Only a few keepers. Also caught a few on the football jig with baby brush hog trailer.

Grass is plentiful in a lot of the creeks in the mid lake region. Target deeper banks with submergent hydrilla scattered or clumped out to 8 ft. Work a hybrid hunter, buzzbait or weightless plastic through the submergent grass on the edge of the grass line.
