Largemouth BassTechniqueNed RigsSeasonFallStructureRock PileWater temps were plummeting the days prior to our outing, slow moving baits like a light ned rig we’re key, additionally finding rock near weeds helped a lot in finding more than 1-2 fish together! These areas held bigger schools of fish and we were able to boat 25-30 nice bass at the end of the day!

Beautiful day but water temps produced a slower bite. Bouncing fluke up deeper holes produced some action.

The black and blue jig bite got better towards the evening. At this time look for shallow rocks with nice drop offs and large flats.

Jig and a minnow. 7 feet of water the water is still very dirty. Once the water start clearing up the walleyes will start moving in. Today the bigger crappies and walleyes wanted a bigger meal. if I didn’t a big fat head I had to add 2 minnows to my hook for a bigger presentation..
