- Species
Spotted BassTechniqueHover/Mid-StrollingSeasonSummerStructureDocksSlow day, ended up targeting suspended spotted bass around mid lake around the docks using various sized minnow style baits with and without the under-spin. A few on top water with wakebait, fished slow.

Panfish / BluegillTechniqueBobbersSeasonSummerStructureDocksKids had a fun time catching a lot of bluegills from the pontoon, kayak and dock. They had to sort through many scrappy smaller fish to find the quality size gills. The shady areas of docks and main lake bluff walls were the primary locations. Vertical jigging or casting a float and jig to the dropoffs or shaded areas proved to be the most consistent presentation. Great way to get young kids hooked on fishing!

SpeciesSpotted BassTechniqueHover/Mid-StrollingSeasonFallStructureShadFish were suspended in about 30’-50’ on bait fish and if you got the bait down there and presented it well you were getting bit. It did seem the big ones such as the big spot my partner caught were in the 40+ ft range. The night swiftly died off at about 9am

Live scoping spots and largies suspended by docks on shad
Species
Largemouth BassTechniqueHover/Mid-StrollingSeasonFallStructureBaitfishFish were mostly on bait balls in the middle where you could target them with a minnow. but the better quality (2+ pounders) were grouped up on shallow rock but were very hard to catch, but that’s where the dropshot came in handy. We lost two. Big ones that definitely would have helped get the win on the minnow but that’s just how it goes. We got 2nd with 8.92lbs

Get as close to the bank (almost hitting it) and as close to the docks as you can when the water temp is mid to high 50s.
