Tough fishing across most of what was about the muddiest I have ever seen Lake Tillery, but found bass in cleaner water in a stream above the bridge.

I caught this bass just casting and really in slowly with the occasional hop. Temperatures are getting ready to go down into the 30s this week. I had another huge bite, came up to the surface and as he breached the surface, I watched as my jig got thrown from his mouth. He’ll be back and I’ll be waiting.

Had a great afternoon bank fishing and enjoying the weather. Fish were still hitting the spinnerbait and crushing top water poppers. Loving the warmer weather as we move towards the pre spawn feeding frenzy.

I caught five pickerels and only one bass. I had another good bass on, but I must’ve had a bad connection because it broke the line.

Just stopped by and made a couple casts, Mooch Minnow on a strike king bitsy bug mini jig. Casting from shore, just take your time go slow. A lot of submerged vegetation however enough casts and you’ll have a great bass.

Crush city on a mini jig, nothing special throwing it directly tied to braid. Just limping it along the bottom, caught three great bass. Beautiful little pond. Several points of Access just have to find them.

The river channel runs along rip rap that falls quickly to 24ft. I spotted the bait fish at about 6 ft on my Garmin Live Scope and worked the Stunna through the bait ball with 8lbs P line Floroclear spooled on an old Shimano Curado 200b mounted on David Fritz Cranking Rod. Strikes occurred on about a 3 second pause.

Drop shot working well again around laydowns and docks in late afternoon window. Included a picture of my smallest catch … an overly ambitious 3” minnow that took on a 6” Roboworm. Little guy was fine when I released him (no idea how he got himself hooked) and swam back to his friends.
