Largemouth BassTechniqueBuzzbaitsSeasonFallStructureSubmerged VegetationThe fish were blowing up on top water in the massive weed flat. Had to find the edges and throw into the middle and work it out. Buzzbaits where the only thing to throw without getting full of weeds. Was also cloudy and I believe that also helped keeping the fish looking up

Had to wade through a few small-medium pike, but hooked some decent bass to 4+ pounds. Berkley Square Bull crank also good.

We looked for rocks on points adjacent to bluegill beds in 14-16 FOW. I slowly dragged a 1/2oz stealth feider along the bottom with a 7'1 heavy KAGE jig rod and paused after feeling rocks to get bites. Larger isolated rocks produced bigger fish

Tough day with few bites, until we switched to swim jigs and spinnerbaits to save some face.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Pitch/Flip)SeasonSummerStructureMatted GrassMost fish were caught flipping main lake points in the thick weeds, also found fish with ned rigs around isolated towers of coontail. Had a great practice but a tough club derby, one team brought in a 20lb bag

Bass were shallow cruising around a big weed bed. Presentation needed to be slow to get bites, smaller males were much more aggressive.
