    In October the fish move from chasing minnows in 20-50 ft of water in big schools to pushing the minnows up into the reeds. They are highly active and will chase a buzzbait and smash it all the way to the boat! It is a very fun time of year to fish and the bass will hit anything moving fast on top. Walking Frogs and poppers also work great. This lake has small forage and smaller baits seem to perform better than larger baits.

    I used the the Rapala Freeloader. It is a 4.25" jerk bait style lure that has ribs and a really pointy tail. I did not experience any blue gills but I would think they would bite the tail right off pretty regularly if you are fishing around them a lot. I fished the the same bait all day and it held up great. The Jig Head is a VMC Hybrid Swim bait Jig Head in 3/16 oz. You have to spin the bait onto the keeper but it worked great.
