Smallmouth BassTechniqueDamiki RigSeasonFallStructureBrush PilesSmallies were holding tight to bottom structure and were in a fairly negative mood. We were able to catch a few good ones by hanging a damiki rig right in their faces.

Largemouth BassTechniqueDrop ShotSeasonFallStructureLedgesWas able to pick up a few nice largies drop shotting points in anywhere from 10-25 ft of water. Still some grass in the area so I was using a Robo rebarb hook in 1/0, perfect size for the 6 inch worm. Later in the day switched to a nose hooked flatworm and picked up several smallies in the same areas.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueSwim JigsSeasonFallStructureSubmerged VegetationBombing a swim jig around the grass flats with a steady retrieve and then killing it every few cranks. Whenever there was a opening in the grass I would throw the jackhammer and get a few bites that way as well.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueLipless CrankbaitsSeasonSummerStructureSubmerged VegetationRipping a lipless through grass triggering a reaction strike. Switched to the NRX 904c MBR to help clear off the grass easier. Owner 3x st-56 treble hooks kept them pinned while I reefed the out of the grass.

Worked the crank from shallow to deep on a slight trough focusing on the weed line. Big crank but worked it like a square bill (burn pause, burn pause), she came out from the weed edge and chased it for about 10ft before committing to the bite. Megabass deep-six has a tight wobble and more of a deep knock to it, perfect for cold water reaction strikes.
