I went out to the lake on Wednesday, November 20th with my buddy Kevin to try and get on some big Bois D'Arc fall bass in the forest. It was bright and sunny all day, with a strong northeast wind at 15 mph and gusting up to 25 mph for the majority of the day until the evening when it eventually completely laid down. The water temperature on the lake was 61 degrees lakewide and the water clarity was at about 1.5 - 2 feet of visibility with a slight green hue to it. We fished from noon to 5 PM, and concentrated our efforts way back in the forest on the west side of the lake, specifically targeting areas where creek channels ran through the timber. We would sit our boat in the channels and then fish all the timber and flooded brush on the edges of the channel in 2-6 feet of water, pitching a jig and texas rig as well as throwing a swim jig and chatterbait. The jig and texas rig got more bites, but the moving baits, especially the swim jig, caught the majority of our bigger fish. We caught 10 fish total, and our best 5 for the day went right at 17 pounds, anchored by a 5 pound even fish I caught on the swim jig (pictured with the report). The fall bite on Bois D'Arc right now is quite tough, as there is a lot of dead water on the lake, but if you can bushwack your way into the timber and find out where the creek channels snake through it, the fish are there and they are aggressive! Thank you all for reading my report and good luck on your next trip out!

The color used is Junebug for the Flux Gill, and the closest option was Tonic. Tonic works well too! I ran this on a Modified Mepps Aglia #3 weedless along the top of grass. No bites until I got it in the grass a bit and he hammered it! Adjust the retrieve to get the depth you want. Slower cranks it gets deeper. In this case I was cranking and pasting in the top of the grass and that got him fired up. You can also just slowly drag it on the bottom. The fish will see the blade flash just a bit as it twitches being dragged on the bottom. Do this along the edge of a weed line so it kicks up a bit of a dust cloud here and there. In
