Largemouth BassTechniqueHover/Mid-StrollingSeasonFallStructureRiver ChannelsI fished the north-end of Cayuga Lake focusing on channel swings in 6-10ft of water. The bass were located from the top of the water column to the bottom. I used a hover rig paired with a Berkley Flat Worm to target the suspend bass and I used a Berkley Hit Worm paired with half moon jig to target the bass laying on the bottom.

Caught this 20.5 inch 5 pounder during the 2024 NYKBF State Championships. Skipping a wacky rig under docks and one particular dock was holding A LOT of fish. Had to weed through the smaller ones to get this big ol'girl to bite. She came out and bit just before it hit the bottom. I caught a 19.75 inch Smallmouth under the same dock with the same set up the next morning!

Bite is real tough offshore so I went skipping skipping docks and flipping lay downs. A frog worked sometimes too but still use the senko as a follow up.

The arashi glide as well as the Jerry Rago cha cha glide produced fish over rock piles. Definitely wasn't the best way to go about it because the day was really slow after livescope went down but this was the only way we were able to catch decent sized fish. Thrown on Cortland Line.
