Giles McDaniel reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Football Jigs technique and Daiwa Tatula SV TW103 Casting Reel - EOL on Chickamauga Lake.

Michael Gammons reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Football Jigs technique and Daiwa Tatula SV TW103 Casting Reel - EOL on Wateree Lake. Additional comments from this report: "The fish are very spread one and stuck on bait. The fishery is very hard at the moment and you have to find baitfish to find bass. The fishery is loaded with crappie however and the brush piles are full of them. I recommend finding brush piles or rock on deep points."

Joseph Jernigan reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Football Jigs technique and Shimano Curado DC Casting Reel on Waccamaw River. Additional comments from this report: "Jigging by and stump,laydown, brush, any type of wood cover that is in current or beside current. Soft subtle but firm approach with the jigging technique tried making it look like it was distraught in that moving water and it worked."

Bass moving a lot during this fall transition, so covering water is essential. Find docks in 12-20 feet of water and pull football jigs around rocks and brushpiles. In the morning and if the day is cloudy, using a black buzzbait rarely fails here as well. The bite is volatile, so one day it will be fantastic fishing and the next the bite could shut off, so change it up if something isn't working!

Trent Ellis reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Football Jigs technique and Shimano Curado DC Casting Reel on Stockton Lake. Additional comments from this report: "Still heavily fishing brush piles. Fish as many as you can from 18-30 feet deep. Bites are few and far between right now as the fall transition looms near. Drag a football jig or something similar along the bottom and soak it right next to the pile. "

Yappowfishn reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Football Jigs technique and Daiwa Zillion SV TW Casting Reel on The Lake. Additional comments from this report: "Overcast conditions from last week forced the big ones to go out and eat!! Casting over rocks and other cover along small points with a 1/4 swing head with a Craw to generate vibration. The water was dirty and the vibration from the bait was key to the fish track and find the bait. Caught some good ones and the best was this beast with over 5lbs!! #keepcasting The Yappow Fishn"

Mack Duke reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Football Jigs technique and Daiwa Zillion SV TW Casting Reel on Megunticook Lake. Additional comments from this report: "Cold temps and cold water with bass hanging out on the bottom around rocks and drop offs. I noticed on my lowrance active target the bass were not suspended and the jerkbait wasn’t producing like I hoped it would. So I switched it up and tied on one of my favorite jig combos. Dirty Jigs football jig and Xzone adrenaline craw Junior! It worked out well producing some quality bites under some cold and bitter conditions! "
