Largemouth BassTechniqueDrop ShotSeasonFallStructureSubmerged VegetationThe fluctuation in temps have caused the fish to become somewhat finicky on the smaller bodies of water. With vegetation still dying off, you can still see some smaller isolated patches of grass that you can still find a bass or 2 in. I was deadsticking the rod as the flow of the water imparted enough action. I also hooked up with a couple bass by trying to target blow ups or the forage busting the water. Slow retrieves all the way around worked better.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueBladed JigsSeasonFallStructurePointsWith this "Lake" being more of a pond rather than a lake, the bass main forage is bluegill. I was targeting points and pockets, managed to hookup with a few. The largest being just shy of 3lbs.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueBladed JigsSeasonFallStructureBaitfishWhile the bass haven't quite moved up shallow, they are staring to chase bait. i had more luck downsizing from a standard Jackhammer and 4"+ trailer. Fishing from the bank, I was casting about 75'+ outside of a corner pocket and got all of my bites in the first 5 or so turns of the reel. Landed 2 decent size bass(3lbs or so) in about 20 minutes.

With the water temps starting to come down the fish are staring to transition more shallow and are targeting this years bait spawn. Since this a smaller body of water, the transition is a little further along than what the Chain is. The reduced size of the JR. vs the full size matches the size of the bait better. I am targeting pockets, points, current breaks, and looking for where shad bust on the surface and target casting. Intermittent pauses and varying walking speeds can cause a fish that would otherwise follow to react and strike.

Was fishing a silt bottom with a ton of snot grass on the bottom SO i wasn't grinding the squarebill on the bottom like normal. I would burn it, and the kill the retrieve, or would pop the rod tip 12-16in during the retrieve in an attempt to create a "deflection" similar to what you would get deflecting it off a rock. Caught 3 bass in a rather short time. Largest at about 2lbs

Slow retrieval over grass, parallel to the bank, and across points. Intermittent pauses has got me couple additional strikes.

Water temps were still pretty cold, tried to force some moving baits but found the most success yo-yo-ing a blade bait off of points in deeper water.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueFinesse JigsSeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureRip RapFinesse jig was still the bait of choice( Threw spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, full-size jigs, and a shakeyhead as well). They are staging off the bank a little bit chasing bluegills that are on bed. Didn't catch anything of real size.
