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!

Drag a football jig or something similar along the bottom and soak it right next to the pile. "
