- Species
Largemouth BassTechniqueWacky RigsSeasonFallStructureSubmerged VegetationGot on the edge of some shallow flats and used a weighted wacky rig in 4'-7' of water. Fish were pretty aggressive towards the bait. White and Watermelon worked the best. Had some luck on green pumpkin also.

Largemouth BassTechniqueShallow Diving Crankbaits (0-6')SeasonFallStructureSubmerged VegetationA storm went through earlier in the week bringing in a cold front with clear, sunny skies. The bass fishing almost came to a halt. The afternoon was spent focusing on the weed line in about 11 feet of water near drop offs. The submerged point on the west side was about the only place that held somewhat consistent numbers. We were able to catch bass fan casting a Bomber crankbait running right above the submerged weeds and also a Texas rigged Bandidto Bug right below the boat. The bass seemed to be roaming around that point as the bites came in bunches.
- Species
