You can't not catch fish on this lake in the fall. This is a favorite time of the year because you can wack em topwatter shallow at ledges and at points. I like the 6th Sense speed wake because there is nothing like the action get with that bait. reel and pause for effect and be ready. my second go to is the Depps Buzzjet if you can get ahold of one. If your having trouble locating them, drag a Live target baitball hybrid spinner bait. Later in the day, if the fishing is tough, a texas rigged Ol Monster with a Gambler rattle weight will do the trick.

Never peg this. Drop this on a bass and 9 time out of 10 they eat it on the fall. If they don’t give it a wiggle and then they will. Less than 8 feet I use 1/8oz and in 8-12 feet I use a 1/4oz. I typically don’t fish it any deeper than 12 feet. It’s a great bait for targeting shallower fish in the late summer. I always have one tied on no matter what lake I’m fishing.

Channel swing/steep gravel banks always seem to hold a few bass that will hit a ned rig--the blue craw Finesse TRD is a staple for me because I think the greenish back and light blue belly look a lot like a shad. On this weekend, with the warm water temperatures, any bank like this that had wind hitting it also had lots of bait being pushed in by the wind, and I caught a 6+ lb. largemouth in addition to several smaller largemouth and smallmouth.
