Largemouth BassTechniqueHard Topwater (Popping)SeasonFallStructurePointsWater temps have cooled down to the low 70’s and stained clarity. Switched between a Jackhammer and a Spro E pop 80. Most of my fish came walking the popper at a brisk pace.

Fished this combination around the grass flat and the banks. Major cold front made it tough, caught 16lbs for best 5.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueStructure JigsSeasonFallStructureLaydownsWater temps in the mid 50’s now and water clarity is slightly cloudy but good. Had a 1-2 punch flipping a jig around laydowns and then cranking rock in 5-7 feet of water.
- SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueBuzzbaitsSeasonFallStructureLaydowns
Water temps in the high 70’s and stained. It was a one two punch this afternoon. I was using a HD Tackle Worldwide buzzer to cover water and picked up a few fish with that. When I saw isolated wood off the bank I’d pitch to that as well as lay downs on the shore. The best stretches has 3-4 foot of water just off the bank.

Target main lake points with scattered rock and laysdowns in 3-5 feet.
- SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Pitch/Flip)SeasonFallStructureLaydowns
Hopping texas rig on the grasslines that remain and pitching into laydowns. There are a decent amount of laydowns on the lake, but the most productive spots were thicker logs and deeper water (2ft+). Junebug Bunker Hawg was getting hammered the first day. I ran out of those and the Blue Craw Rodent was hammering them on the second outing resulting in a nice 4 pounder. They definitely preferred the beaver vs a bait with a ton of action. Rage bug didn't get a single bite.
- SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Pitch/Flip)SeasonSummerStructureSubmerged Vegetation
Water temps were in the low 80’s and clarity was 1-2 foot. Caught most of my fish pitching a Texas rig to submerged clumps of vegetation in 6-8 foot of water. Later in the evening I caught a few fish on a popper near shoreline cover.

Focused on brush piles in 10-12’ of water and deep weed points. Bites came while burning bait and crashing it into brush.
