Largemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Pitch/Flip)SeasonFallStructureReedsWaconia can be a bit hit or miss in the early and late Fall times. I have found some of the best strategies during these periods of the Fall is to flip the hard edge of the reed beds, or flip 1-2ft into the reeds and slowly pull/drag them out. Swimming stuff through the reeds or hopping it will not get you as many bites but can also be beneficial but not as recommended. I would also concentrate on flipping as much timber on the shore, especially if it is wedged up to rocks/boulders on the shoreline as well. Happy hunting!

The crappie bite on Lake Waconia so far this year has been pretty good at times. Crappies have been caught in 12'-15' ft of water usually on top of healthy weeds growing a few ft off the bottom. Usually will find crappies suspended and being a few feet up in the water collum.

Found some cabbage that was still green in 7 ft and ripped my bait over the top and through it. Stinky tube produced a bite out deeper on weed edge as well.

The crappie bite is fire! It seems like the tips of big weed beds have been the best. 12 to 20 feet of water. Low light periods are key. Glow in the dark jigs and plain hooks with minnows have been my go to. Lots of 10 to 13 inchers.

Flip a grass jig into the healthiest milfoil you can find, vary jig weights depending on depth.

Throwing a big hair jig on rock spines and weed edges where I marked gills. Fun bite!
