Got on the fun fall top water bite this week. Fish were around the remaining pads and pad stems. If a fish didn’t hit the buzz bait I could get them to hit a frog or a weightless senko.

Fishing was a grind today but the Hybrid Hunter around healthy coon tail in 6-9' of water in flats was key especially as this bait comes through grass well. The Bass and Pike that went after it were very aggressive with it.

Cover water shallow with the buzzer, don't be afraid to throw right up against the bank.

Landed 10 and had another 4 shake it including a couple right next to the boat in about 3 hours of being on the lake.

Coon can be a hit or miss, but when it is on - it is a very fun lake. One of the easier fishing techniques out there is burning or jerking bladed jigs around dock pilings, outside of the reeds, or in shallow areas in 3-6 ft outside of docks. If you can't find success with this technique I would move out to the deeper weed lines in 12-19ft with a jig or texas rig and soak it hard and long for the big bites.

Fishing was a little slower this past Sunday but got a few good ones to bite on the All-Terrain tackle football jig. Very slow rolled over the old bluegill beds worked the best. Blue black or natural craw were the best colors
