Largemouth BassTechniqueSpinnerbaitsSeasonFallStructureDocksI love fishing spinnerbaits around docks on this lake. Even if you’re not around docks, fishing around rocky points and reeds you can always get a bite! You can even catch frogs also!!!
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueShallow Diving Crankbaits (0-6')SeasonSummerStructurePointsI love shallow cranking in the summertime on this lake. The lake has an abundance of small bait and it’s hard to match it. Instead of matching it give them something bigger and better. The 2.5 squarebill crankbait is great for drawing in curious bass and getting them to react to it Not only does it trick fish into but I’m fit, but it gets bigger bites as well. I have had several 20+lb days on these crankbaits. Make sure to have a good strong rod to get those bigger hooks in those fish! Good luck!

Craig OliverBronze AmbassadorSpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueSoft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium)SeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureReedsA cold front moved in and water temperatures were falling. The sky was overcast and the wind was 15 mph with gusts to 25mph. Found bass in 1’-3’ of water near reeds with underwater brush and submerged grass. The bite was aggressive and super shallow or right against the reeds.

This day started slow. Ended up going shallow and finding them around reeds in submerged vegetation. They were chasing shad and hungry. It was a cold day with wind. Found them all in 1ft to 3ft of water.

The fish were up shallow on either end of the lake near reads and in heavy under water weeds. Hit on paddle tail swim baits and top water frogs
Donald HallBronze AmbassadorSpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Pitch/Flip)SeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureReedsIf you get a clue that they're spawning, the reeds are your friends! Try every part of them. In front, behind, and most importantly right in the middle of them. At least a 1/2oz flipping weight is recommended. Points still play during the early low light conditions.
