Largemouth BassTechniqueSpinnerbaitsSeasonFallStructureSubmerged VegetationThis is a great lake for the kayak... Got on a good spinnerbait bite in late Sept. overcast & breezy. Fish were cruising shallow 1-6' deep. Caught about 20 bass between 17-20". Most went for a 3/8oz shad color double willow blade with a 3.8 keitech swimbait trailer. Smaller fish were hitting underspins. Bigger fish went for an upsized 1/2 oz spinnerbait as well as 6" swimbaits.

Went out Sunday evening of opener weekend. Submerged vegetation and lily pads haven't grown much yet. Water temp was 63-64 degrees. Looked in 3 spots where prespawn fish would likely be and it was quiet. Then went to see if Bass were up on beds and sure enough, pulled in a big female that had recently spawned on the first cast in that area. She chased down a white buzzbait with a Spunk Shad trailer. I then left that area alone and enjoyed the sunset as I paddled back to the access.

Bass are post-spawn. Partly sunny day with some wind, water temps are 65-66. Glide baits tend to work well on Lake Ann. Right now a lot of bass will cruise or set up on the inside weed line in 2-3ft of water and they go after the bluegills, especially along the east shoreline. Bluegills will have beds all over the place right up against shore. Trying to sight fish the bass is tough, they don't like when you get close. A drop shot along the weedline in 9-11ft was getting bit as well.

Started hitting shallow water next to the pads with a crankbait and chatterbait. Couple of smaller fish hit the chatterbait. Moved to the south end of the lake where the wind was blowing towards and saw tons of baitfish making ripples on top. Scanned with the livescope and there were tons of fish feeding. Tossed a Z-man chatter bait and continuously reeled in multiple largemouth bass with the biggest one being 3.02#. Switched over to the Ned Rig with a senko cut in half as the bait and lights out! Cast after cast was a hit. Key is to let the Ned Rig drop to the bottom and make small twitching moves with your rod tip. Triggers them to hit!

Caught a lot of fishing in the 8-10ft range using structure/football jigs.

Got out on Lake Ann Sept 1st & Sept 8th. Frog bite was going well on the 1st... sunny day, light breeze. Plenty of fish bit in the lily pads, mostly where the main lake meets the long south bay. Most fish were smaller around 14" but a handful were nicer around 17". On the 8th, it was partly sunny and windy (10mph+) and the frog bite shut down... seems to be summer to fall transition as fish were all over the place. Picked one or two up on wacky rigs under docks, spinner bait, frog, dragging dark sleepers deep, and the best bite was deeper water 15-18' on the outside weed edge while throwing a deep diving crankbait. Natural colors worked best. jerkbait, chatterbait, and squarebills didn't do so hot. This lake has good numbers of bass in the 15-18" range.
