Largemouth BassTechniqueSpinnerbaitsSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureLedgesI recently participated in a semi-informal kayak tournament at Greers. I had a successful fishing trip where I caught over 10 fish by casting a 3/4 spinner bait up against rock walls. The water temperature during the trip was between 62-64F, and it was overcast with 30mph gusts. In a previous report, I mentioned that the Falcon Head Turner rod is the best option for spinnerbaits, and I still stand by that statement. I paired it with a Shimano 150 size reel with the MGL spool in a slower ratio, allowing me to channel my inner Jason Christie. The Mastiff line is an excellent choice in line if you're looking for a complete package for 3/8 and 1/2 spinnerbaits with trailers, or 3/4 ounce spinner baits without trailers. Overall, I couldn't ask for a better setup for my fishing trip.

Smallmouth BassTechniqueBladed JigsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureFlooded BrushFishing was slow for me, spent too much time in areas along deep flooded shores...trying various baits, spinnerbaits and soft plastic getzit. When I went up into creeks above flooded brush found two smallmouth. Others who fished in area closeby caught bigger and more smallmouth.

SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueFootball JigsSeasonFallStructureLedgesWas able to get a Top 10 finish at Greers Ferry Lake during our state championship back in early October. All of my keepers as well as majority of the fish I caught during this two day event was a combination of different jigs paired with a Strike King Menace grub. I found a stretch of bank where an old river ledge was that drop from 5 ft to around ~20ft. The fish were all across that stretch so I didn’t matter where you threw at. Hopefully this helps you guys out on your next fishing trip.
