Largemouth BassTechniqueFootball JigsSeasonFallStructureRock PileWater temps were 46-47 degrees and water clarity was 3-4 feet. Banks that were 45 degrees or steeper with gravel and chunk rock produced all of my bites today. Dragging a 1/2 ounce football jig and craw chunk slowly produced the most bites.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueBladed JigsSeasonFallStructureSubmerged VegetationWater temps in the low 50s and good clarity. Fish were biting great with a passing cool front this morning. Primary bait was the Thundercricket along steeper shorelines with sparse vegetation. Secondary pattern was flipping laydowns with a jig and pork. The best ones were out over 5-6 foot of water. Very fun morning with lots of fish caught, no giants but the best five went over twenty.

Most of my fish came winding a modified Thundercricket with a Bojangles baits Z-Daddy fit a trailer. As I was going along if I saw a laydown or brush pile with my FFS I would flip a home made arky style jig with a Z-Daddy on it to those. That one two punch worked well thought the day.

Targeted laydowns in 3-5 feet of water with a jig. In between laydowns I would cover water with a bladed jig. My biggest fish came doing that, I nice 5-10 that had the head of a 6+ pounder but was skinny. Had a pretty good day with my best 5 over 20 pounds.

Had a very good bite this morning pitching to laydowns in 5-8 feet of water. The best spots were where the creek channel swung close to shore. Water temps started out about 60 degrees this morning and clarity was slightly stained. Later in the morning when the wind picked up I caught several nice fish slow rolling a 1/2 ounce double Colorado spinnerbait in a coleslaw pattern along laydowns and isolated stumps.

Fished this combination around the grass flat and the banks. Major cold front made it tough, caught 16lbs for best 5.

Water 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.
