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!

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 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.

Late fall gets tough but these lures were absolutely outstanding, catching multiple big bass. I love the D- T 10 because it gets to its set depth and stays there allowing you to pick and chose depending on the depth, for example if I’m in 15ft of water a lure that stays at 10ft is great. Highly recommend all of these products, because they work well and have great lifespans.

Fish were tight to bottom after a cold front came through. We worked the weed edges and flats and rolled these baits over fish. When they ate it was pretty aggressive. Weeds are still nice and green and there was a lot of bait everywhere.
