Largemouth BassTechniqueMedium Diving Crankbaits (7'-12')SeasonFallStructurePointsCatching both largemouth and smallmouth bass by targeting main lake rock bluff channel swing banks and points using a Rapala DT-10 crankbait in the 8 to 10ft range focusing on chunk rock transitions on the bluff and points. The DT-10 color that I chose today was caribbean shad due to the fact that the water color on the main lake had a slight stain to it due to recent rain events and the natural draw down of the lake.

The water level and water temps are falling and we are targeting largemouth bass that are chasing threadfin shad on shallow main lake flats and around creek mouths using a 1/2 ounce Strike King red eyed shad.

Sunny, 79* Full Moon weekend. Winds light and variable. Caught some awesome smallmouth bass on bullshads and custom dreamsmasher shallow running crankbaits from E&H Lures in Watauga Tennessee.

Speed cranking the Bomber Fat Free Shad around stumps and lay downs has been working great. It's the fall transition and the burn, burn, pause was slaying them.

Around any laydowns or grass (either submerged or visible grass in the water). Also throwing a Spro Bronzeye Frog in the killer gill color around the same kind of vegetation.

You must be able to fish slow this time of the year when the bass are going deep. The bass are ready to be in the suspended stage so fishing slow and use your electronics to find them. Good luck to all.
