Largemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Pitch/Flip)SeasonFallStructureFlooded BrushFished banks with brush out to 8 feet on bigger rock (basketball size) one fish spit up a giant crawfish in my livewell. Pegged 1/2 tungsten weight with 5/0 wide gap either swamp bug at or rage bug. Seemed like the brush that stuck out a little further than the rest had the fish on them. Also ran a buzzbait around on open banks with sparse brush for some of our other bites.

Light line is a must for throwing these finesse jigs at Bull Shoals. If you pick up a wobble head you can bump your line size up, but be careful because of the water clarity on the lake

**Bull Shoals Lake Fishing Report** The conditions at Bull Shoals Lake were perfect for fishing. The water temperature ranged from 72-75°F, with clear water and winds at 5-10 mph. The combination of these factors made for an excellent day on the lake. When fishing along the high banks, Rk Crawlers proved to be incredibly effective. The fish were biting consistently, making for an exciting time. In the back of the creeks, using 6th Sense 3” Whales with 1/8 Owner Ultra Round Heads was the key to success. This setup attracted plenty of fish, keeping the action steady.
