Largemouth BassTechniqueHard Topwater (Walking)SeasonFallStructurePointsReally nothing special to this catch. Just bank fishing around my uncle‘s lake house. Walked about 3 miles and caught four fish.

Slow reeling down a creek channel off secondary points. Bite was slow.

Omnia doesn't offer the exact buzzbait from Greenfish, so I couldn't add it. However, a toad toting style buzzbait and covering a lot of water helped put 16 pounds of largemouth in the boat. We had a lot of wind and overcast that day, and it helped generate a great bite.

Spotted BassTechniqueStructure JigsSeasonFallStructureBrush PilesThere’s still a lot of fish on brush and they are biting really good once the sun gets up. I caught a few suspended, but my better quality and quantity came on the jig in about 20 feet of water.

SpeciesSpotted BassTechniqueStructure JigsSeasonFallStructureHumpsThe big bite was tough yesterday, but caught plenty of fish. Several tournaments so the lake was busy. Most bites were on main lake humps. Fish on bottom came off of a jig. All other bites came on the lipless. Either either yo-yoing or quick reeling with random pops.
SpeciesSpotted BassTechniqueSpinnerbaitsSeasonFallStructureBouldersThe bit was tough with not much wind and clear skies, but burning a 3/4 oz spinner bait over brush was generating a reaction strike. It helped me catch my PB spotted bass a 4.12 pounds. Added a trailer hook for those short striking, and it paid off.

The lake is about 6 feet low and has almost finished turning over. There’s bait fish everywhere in the creeks, and the bite is tough there. Bites are still coming pretty easy on brush piles on the main lake.

You can still find some schooling fish, but the quality seems to be smaller. The bigger bites for me came out of brush 15-20 feet of water. There was a storm that rolled through early that morning, but cleared up the skies with winds out of the west that were 8-15 mph.
