was using original zman chatter bait with googan trailer. watched this fish chase this bait for a while before he struck it. used a 5 turn and stop method seemed to work well with the chatterbait.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueHard Topwater (Walking)SeasonFallStructureSubmerged VegetationThe water temps were 70-73 depending on the depth and stain from the lake partially turning over. It made fishing extremely tough due to scattering the bass and bait fish all over. I found most of my fish over 10-15 feet of water with grass just below the surface, but that bite died on day two due the grass dying off rapidly. Day two came from the sides of main lake points anywhere from 15-25 feet of water with a drop shot.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueHard Topwater (Walking)SeasonFallStructureBrush PilesLake Murray is full of big fish if you slow down and fish a drop shot. The two biggest fish of are tournament were on drop shots with cane piles near by. Fish are also on ledges and will come up schooling if you hit them at the right time. Perfect time to go is sunny with light wind. Keep fishing never stop!!!

Here on Lake Murray, you're starting to see some fish move to the backs of pockets. However the offshore bite is still very good. We had success using sexy dog junior and caffeine shad Over cane piles

Throwing from the bank over submerged grass. Pop it a few times during the retrieval and boom, a Lake Murray beauty!

The Topwater bite on Lake Murray is as hot as the dog days of Summer right now! The fish are really grouped up well on main lake points and schooling on Blueback Herring. The key is throw a topwater walking bait or a weightless fluke all day long and cover as many spots as you can and keep your eyes peeled for bass visually schooling on the surface and you will be rewarded with some great fish during these hot August days!
