Largemouth BassTechniqueFinesse JigsSeasonFallStructureFlooded BrushFished a club tournament on Deep Creek Lake and caught largemouth, smallmouth, walleye, pickerel, and northern pike and a variety of soft plastics. The fish refused to touch moving baits of any kind, but they were perfectly happy eating Texas-, wacky-, ned-, and Carolina-rigged soft plastics, particularly Zoom Trick Worms in black. I went through several bags of them, thanks to the many toothy critters I caught. And, while the bass were few and far between, my co-angler and I had a blast catching several species of fish, including a 15lb northern pike. As I have most of this year, I rigged my Trick Worms on Mustad's Alpha Point Alpha-Grip Finesse hooks. These are amazing hooks - sharp, strong, and easy to rig with a snell knot. Thanks, Omnia Fishing, for introducing me to these hooks for field testing!

Fished a club tournament and fished docks all day. We were not ble to get any fish in any other bait in any other area. Docks on points with boats were the best producers. Baits had to be carefully skipped under docks into the smallest areas to get fish.

Throwing the 3.5" cover scat around rocks and boulders near transitions from weed beds. Caught several 2-3# smallmouth bass weightless on a 3/0 ewg. Also caught a bunch of large rock bass in the process. Cover scat has been the most consistent heavy bait I've tried so far.
