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.

First time with a chatterbait and landed a beauty of a fish. Fished the end of the pier in deep water as the bass hadn't moved shallow yet or to the backs of the creeks.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueGrass JigsSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureSubmerged VegetationA 3 hour outing on Burke Lake targeting Pre-Spawn fish staging on points during low water levels made them reachable from wading further out into shallow flats. Water temperature had been stable throughout the day and a low pressure system/storm was forecasted to hit the area between 1200 and 1300. Other conditions present: overcast and a light ripple. Hydrilla was growing in well and fish were relating to the grass. All bites came on the end of long casts after ripping either the Lil' Magnum or a Chatterbait through the grass. Big fish of the day was just over 5lbs and a total of 8 fish, including a 5lb snakehead. Was an amazing short outing for targeting highly pressured fish.
