Black buzzbait with gold blade and black plastic toad for trailer. Main lake cuts hitting laydowns making multiple cast. Not very many bites but when you did get bit 90 percent of the time it was a keeper. Water temp morning 77 getting up to 80 by end of the day. Watercolor stained.

Bass were very lethargic. The bite was very slow. You really had to pay attention to your line and feel for anything that felt different on the retrieve. Fish were on ledges with trees anywhere from the bank out to 25'.

I fished fast on secondary points where the channel swing by the bank to locate the aggressive bass. Not many bites but was able to locate a few good ones. The fish started the transition to the back the coves.

Went out of Bucksaw Marina and fished that area of the lake. Was flipping a Motion Fishing Co 3/8oz flipping jig to shallow stumps and trees. Had a shot at a really good bag of fish but the storm and big wind made it hard to feel bites. Square bills were also working well from the bank to about 4ft deep. Seems like those river bass have started to transition into their fall pattern. Lots of bait in the creeks and active fish if you found the right creek. They were on cover that was very obvious the best cover on the bank you were fishing. Hope this helps you if you venture over tot Truman lake soon. Lake is about 2.5 ft low so a lot to most if the trees are showing, now is a great time to learn the lake.

Haven't found a pattern within the pattern. Just flip all the outside standing timber. I go awhile between bites, but they are quality bites !
