Chatter bait in Green Pumpkin in the morning in the backs of pockets that had grass that was still alive in 6 feet of water or less. We also caught some early morning parallel to shore line that had grass. This bite died off around 10:30 am. There were some small groups 12 - 15 inch schooling bass between the grass mats in back of the pockets. After that you could work out your way out of the pocket and catch them on banks that had grass on chatter bait and TX rig. When sun got high switched to Neko rig and TX rig Max Scent General around lay downs and docks.

Turn over really not happening yet and water is still warm. Focused on main lake points holding bait balls, points with a ledge or wood held the best bass. Three square bills shallow and brought them out to deeper water. Ledges around 10 foot depth with stumps in the shallows worked best. Also worked some hard structures along bridges catching small large mouth feeding on thumbnail shad.

Beating the banks and finding grass pocket. L bills from Strike King and 6 Sense were hot. We found a few pockets chocked with submerged vegetation and we had to switch to swim baits with under spins. Great numbers today not great size but we had a few 3-5 pounders.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueDrop ShotSeasonFallStructurePointsLake level is 5ft+ low, with good visibility 1-2ft, water temps ranging from 79-82 degrees. Fish are scattered with some moving into the first 2/3 of the coves and main lake pockets. Bank fish can be caught using shallow diving crankbaits and topwaters in the 2-6ft range. Most unders are being caught offshore on main lake points in 10-12ft. Drop shots over cover has been working best. The larger slot fish are scattered as well with some being caught deep cranking on points and the dam in 15-20ft of water.
