Tough bite a the very end of summer. September seems to be a tough month as the grass starts to die off, the bass move out. Lots of bait balls showing up so the bass should be chasing them very soon. These fish seem to be pretty pressured and see a lot of different baits. Match the bait size (smaller) and give them something different.

Started the day at 0630, water level was still low but still managed to launch a Jon Boat. The lake was extremely busy being memorial day weekend with a lot of Kayaks and Jon Boats on the water. My partner started the day off throwing a buzzbait and I started covering shallow water with a chatterbait. After a few fish came on a chatterbait around sparse grass, we we moved on to bottom contact on hard bottom in 20 Feet of Water with a few bites and a single dink on a dropshot. We hit grass and grass lines the rest of the day and threw the boat at them, getting plenty of quality fish in the 3-4lb range on chatterbaits, flipping jigs/texas rigs, big swimbaits (DRT Tiny Klash), with even a citation size muskie biting the TK right at the boat with unfortunately no hooks getting in it. Partner landed big fish of the day just shy of 4lbs with our best 5 being in the 17lb range. Great day, just very crowded with a lot of boats on the water.
