Largemouth BassTechniqueSpinnerbaitsSeasonFallStructureBouldersMost of my fish came on the ZMan SlingBladez with a few on the SPRO RkCrawler. Water temps ranged from 65-69 degrees depending on how far back into the creeks I went. It was an over cast day with air temps topping out at 65 degrees with a solid 10 mph wind all day. I covered a ton of water and caught 20+ that day, but only managed to catch four keepers with one being a kicker.

My quality bites all came on a jig early in the morning around stumps, followed up later on docks with a wacky rig all 10 feet or less in depth. Water is really clear for this lake right now, so trying to be as natural as possible helped.

Lake level was full after a heavy rain that made the upper lake a mudhole. I saw temps from 52-55, and caught all of my fish in less than 5 feet of water right up next to cover. The bite was tough, but the quality was there. I'd recommend focusing wood right now whether it's docks or laydowns. Fish should be pulled up on the wood pretty tight with the water being chocolate milk.

I haven't gotten bit on any moving bait the last two outings, but the jig bite is still really good on the docks.

Clear blue skies, high winds, and clear water were the conditions. I focused wind blown steep banks in roughly 10-15 feet of water. I had to weed through some striped bass to get the few good ones I caught.
