Had a super fun Sunday on the Truman, it took a couple hours to get the first good bite on a Frittsside and I broke it off over a rock ( 4 or 5 lber). Then I headed out trying to duplicate the bit and we sure got on them. From the secondary point back we captured a lot of fish. Some were small but we ended up putting together a nice 14lb bag. The Clutch Eco really did the heavy lifting in the afternoon and the crankbait cleaned up down the rocky banks. I kept it simple and covered water and found pods of fish in creeks. I fished the pomme arm area of the lake. Now is a great time to get out and wet a line.

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. 👍

Water was COLD fishing was slow. We could see the fish on the bottom but they would not react to anything.

Fished the Cape Fair up to the Piney Creek area. Bluff ends and points seem to produce best. Water below Cape Fair Marina had stained color. Caught several FAT Kentucky's and Blacks between 2-4lbs.

Was catching suspended fish 25 to 50 ft deep on a jig head minnow. Took some time to find fish beacsue they are scattered from the mouth of the creeks to the backs but when you find them the action can be fast and furious.

It takes a lot of time to hit these deep ones but once you do they will normally bite. Spend a lot of time finding good deep bait.

Fished a benefit tournament over the weekend and finished 2nd place. Most of the fish I found were on the main bluff walls. The RkCrawler was the main approach but don’t count out the back of creeks, flooded buck brush provided some better sized bass flipping a jig and tossing a spinnerbait. The bite is getting really good so get out as soon as possible.

Water temperature varied from 61-64 degrees from the back of creeks out to the main lake. Targeting windy dock ends in slightly stained water with spinnerbait produced nice bass. Downsizing to a fluke or single 3.2” swimbait worked to pick up numbers of smaller fish.

Lots of pressure on the lake this past weekend with the beautiful day. The Largemouth and small mouth really ate the new Strike King Gravel Dog fire craw really good. Also had several on a finesse jig with a small Crockogator bait company ring craw. Had to have orange or red in the bait to get bite.

Today being a beautiful day and biometric pressure was below 30 which typically makes for a good day of fishing. They didn’t start bite until we had a little breeze. Most fish came under shade in 18-23ft. Had 5 over 15”
