Calm, near slick day, 40 feet of water near the main lake, fish suspended about 15 feet down chasing shad and herring. Had to make long, long casts with the Tatula Elite reel. Mostly, spotted bass, then a 5 lb largemouth came along and took the popper 2 feet airborn!

Dead calm conditions had bass positioned in the brush. The only way we could get them to eat was dragging a jig. Fish were on isolated brush and not the thick stuff out deep.

Bass were positioned on wind blow points. Never got a big bite but you could run a crankbait right in them and they would eat.

Fall time can be challenging as bass start moving from spots you’d find them all summer long. After throwing everything I had in my tackle box the Texas rigged Bronco Bug came through for me.

Never been big on Texas rig but after reading several reports saying they were hitting gave it a try today. 5 fish all in the 2 lbs range. Working drop offs and shallow water near deeper channels.

huge blow ups on this booyah buzzbait. very good at not getting stuck on leaves and grass that is floating in the water. just speed up before you reel over the leaves or grass and goes right through.

Like typical Florida fishing, if you find grass, you'll find bass. On this date, the bass were buried deep into the reeds, grass, etc, and almost impossible to reach, aside from the holes and irregularities. These areas were targeted with a swimming jig. The retrieve was extremely fast and erratic, causing a reaction strike. Due to the clear water and forage, the color was BLUEGILL.

Focused north of Lake Point Marina, along the main river channel (Chattahoochee). Specifically, largemouth bass were holding (ambushing) prey along emergent grass beds that were placed sporadically along the bank (approx 10 ft off bank). As with any river system, these bass use the grass beds for cover, ambushing, but mainly just to escape the current. This pattern was HOT, but be sure to use typical flipping/pitching gear (50 lbs braid min) due to the heavy cover.

Heavy winds, 15+ mph, made for less than ideal conditions. Focused on areas with submerged vegetation in 6 to 10 ft of water, while swimming a jig over the tops of the grass. Quality fish were along the edges of the grass, which is typical when bass are ambushing prey. Strikes were extremely aggressive. The TIP is to tick the tops of the vegetation, and pay very close attention when approaching edges, holes, and other changes in the structure/grass.

Eufaula has still been producing good bass around boat docks and brush piles. Using a 7.5” worm I various colors with a “un pegged” 3/16 ounce weight had produced the best bites. A spinner bait and walking bait has also produced good fish!

Omnia doesn't offer the exact buzzbait from Greenfish, so I couldn't add it. However, a toad toting style buzzbait and covering a lot of water helped put 16 pounds of largemouth in the boat. We had a lot of wind and overcast that day, and it helped generate a great bite.
