Smallmouth BassTechniqueHard Topwater (Prop)SeasonSummerStructureRock PileWas fishing rock points and gravel bars using the choppo in the morning as a search bait switching to a black neon tube in the afternoon when the choppo bite fell off.
- SpeciesSmallmouth BassTechniqueHard JerkbaitsSeasonFallStructurePoints
Fall transition in full swing, fish moving around a lot and actively chasing shad, wouldn’t commit to cranks, but the jerkbait worked erratically and fast was the best way to get bit!

Largemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Pitch/Flip)SeasonSummerStructureSubmerged VegetationHad a slow morning, fish started setting up later in the day on the outside weedlines with deep water nearby. Make sure to parallel the weedline to stay in the strike zone longer!
SpeciesSmallmouth BassTechniqueWacky RigsSeasonSummerStructurePointsHeavy rain all morning, had to fish very slowly, bass wouldn’t touch moving baits, threw the senko out over sand points and fished very slowly allowing sink time, and time for the bait to just sit on bottom. Don’t be in a rush when you know fish are around, downsize or finesse tactics got it done for me today!
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Pitch/Flip)SeasonSummerStructureSubmerged VegetationFor whatever reason today I caught every single fish out of eel grass… not normally the case, but was just pitching a craw tube around in and out of the weed edge. Couldn’t get but in milfoil or coontail, all the fish came out of the eel grass, try to focus time on the outside weed edge with access to deeper nearby water!

Panfish / BluegillTechniqueVertical Jigging Shallow (0-9')SeasonFallStructureLaydownsSmall worm with small hook and small sinker, find a good laydown tree in about 6-10 feet of water with a nice slow current. Produced a lot of big sunfish, 4 over 9".
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueGrass JigsSeasonFallStructureReedsFound some nice ones way up shallow, even in the low water. Flipped around a Beast Coast jig and found em!
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueGrass JigsSeasonSummerStructureSubmerged VegetationThe bass were relating to small openings or edges of the weed line that had rock bottom, they weren’t out over sand or on the edge the bottom had to be rock, so focus on those transition areas, and don’t be afraid to fire that jig into the grass and pop it out, can get crazy reaction strikes that way!
