Throw a wacky rigged Senko around submerged grass, especially around docks. The docks and grass together were the key to the bigger fish. Also caught a few smaller fish on a jerkbait

Took a fishing trip with my wife to Pomme De Terre and it was a beautiful fall day with a light breeze. We caught a bunch of topwater fish on a Motion Fishing Buzzbait and she was throwing a Berkley Choppo 110 in black. We probably caught around 15 solid fish over 2lbs. We were finding the fish on flat banks with wind, most of the place we found wads of fish were in small coves or pockets that had shad present. We did most of our fishing down the Lindley Arm of the lake. We covered a lot of water and that’s what it takes to find fish in the fall. We would go 30 min without a bite then catch 5 in 5 minutes. Bottom baits is one thing I could not get to work, it seemed like the fish were looking up and feeding heavy. I left some lure suggestions off the Omnia site yall might try if you’re coming to the lake soon. 👍

I hesitated to come back so soon after last weeks epic day, trying not to be disappointed. And although today wasn't quite as good, it was still an amazing day and I think I'm onto a pretty good pattern. The spotties are definitely in gorge mode. I was able to locate certain points where they had pushed a school of kokanee up against the point at about 40 feet deep and they were feasting. I would drop the spinnerbait to the bottom and slow roll it in from there. It's definitely where the larger spots can be found. Water temp is dropping pretty fast.

Fished a little nighter out on west lake. Seemed like it was easier to catch better quality fish on the frog than anything else. Also covered water well. Just find a protected pocket and throw that frog as deep in the stuff as you can.

Wind was blowing 30mph sustained so it was tough to stay in the good stuff. Just toss it out as far as you can and wind it just above the grass. Caught em every single cast for about 20 minutes. We stayed on West all day and ended up winning the tourney.

We were fishing schooling spotted bass off the edge of shoals. It was tough to keep up with them and get a bait in front of their face but when you did a lot of them ate. We caught em best on a freeloader but any middle sized minnow would've worked. The key was definetely timing, morning bite was best for us.

Parallel casting from shore, fishing along rip rap. Retrieving fast/medium pace. No pausing, as the fish will lose interest.
